today, 
D.     O. 


The  Colonist  Is  privileged 
through  the  courtesy  '  of  Mr. 
Lewis,  the  district  ent,'ineer  of  the  Can- 
adian Northern  Pacific  Railway  Com- 
pany, to  print  on  page  14  an  excellent 
map,  ahowlng  how  the  portions  of  the 
former  Songhees  Indian  Reserve  allo- 
cated to  railway  purposes  will  be  di- 
vided under  the  agreement  between  the 
Provincial  Government  and  the  two 
railway    companies    concerned. 

It  will  be  found  complete  in  every  de- 
tail as  illustrating  the  transformation 
which  Is  to  be  effected  on  the  old  re- 
serve in  order  to  keep  pace  with  the 
rapidly  growing  Importance  of  Victoria 
as  a  railway  centre.  The  only  point 
which  win  be  found  missing  is  the 
marking  of  the  tracks  of  the  B.  C. 
Electric  Railway  Company  over  the  pro- 
posed new  bridge  at  the  foot  of  John- 
son  Street  and  on  the  Point  Ellice 
Bridge,  but  the  former  having  been  ar- 
ranged for  ,  In  the  agreement  and  the 
latter  being  now  in  existence,  the  tram- 
way lines  can  be  consid«red  to  be  on 
the  map. 

In  o-xplaining  the  plana  to  The  Col- 
onial, Mr.  Lewis,  who  is  the  author  of 
the  plan  and  responsible  for  Its  prepa- 
ration, said:  "The  preparation  of  this 
plan  was  rfenderod  much  less  laborious 
than  otherwise  it  would  have  been  on 
account  of  the  accurate  data  and  plan 
pr«p«r«d  ;by  Mr.  J,  R.  Holman,  and  1 
wish  to  express  my  appreciation  of  his 
work." 

The  bases  of  the  agreement  by  which 
the  former  reserve  has  been  divided  into 
throe  pArts,  one  for  the  Canadlai\ 
Northern  ractfl-'  Railway,  the  other  for 
th«  Island  Division  of  the  C.  P.  R..  and 
the  third  for  the  t"Sovernment,  were  told 
In  The  Colonist  of  Christmas  Day,  but 
In  vleW  of  the  importance  of  the  sub- 
ject and  the  great  interests  involved,  it 
Is  thought  well  to  give  some  further 
data  In  reference  to  the  arrangement 
arrived  at.

"The  area  along  the  waterfront  from 
Lime  Bay  to  Point  Klllce  Bridge,"  sftid 
Mr.  LowiB,  "remains  the  property  of 
the  Government  to  be  developed  as  In- 
dustrial sites,  common-user  tracks  and 
docks, 

•■The  Canadian  Northern  Pacific  ter- 
minals will  comprise  thirty-four  acres 
on  which  area  are  shown  on  the  map

paasengcr  and  engine  yards  and  shops. 
Access  to.  the  Canadian  Northern  Pacific

pkoaertRer  station,  which  will  bo  at  the

commodation around  the  station  build- 
(ng-,  a6  that  no  waiting  vehicles  will  be 
compelled  to  remain  on  the  street.  A 
roadway  will  parallel  the  waterfront 
from  Lime  Bay  to  a  point  within  300 
reet  of  Point  KlHce  Bridge,  so  that  ac- 
cess can  be  obtained  to  the  different 
Industrial    sites    and    docks. 

"The  common-user  tracks  will  be  sit- 
uated between  this  roadway  and  the 
■watarfront  and  will  be  for  the  use  of 
the  Canadian  Northern  Pacific,  the  C. 
P.  R.i  and  any  other  railways  whleli 
may  in  the  future  come  to  this  ter- 
minal.

OTTAWA.  Dec.  28.— It  Is  believed 
here  that  a  poaslble  settlement  of  the 
Grand  Trunk  differences  Is  in  sight, 
The  Indictment  of  Puresident  Chamb«r- 
Un  by  the  federal  grand  jury  In  New 
York  on  Monday  was  a  ahoclt  to  his 
friendd,  after  a  two  years'  campaign 
in  securing  the  good  will  of  a  larpe 
part  of  the  New  Englanders,  based  upon 
promises  of  development  and  competi- 
tion   In    that    territory. 

The  sudden  abandonment  of  construc- 
tion work  was  followed  by  the  an- 
nouncement of  a  working  alliance  with 
th«  Mellen  Interests  by  Mr.  Chamber- 
lin  and  Mr.  Smithers  this  week.  Grand 
Trunk  ofUdal  circles  were  deeply  stir- 
red, and  all  energies  were  directed  to 
repa,lring  any  injury  done  to  the  Grand 
Trunk'.s    standing   and    credit. 

Tlu-  result  tonight  Is  that  it  is  believ- 
ed that  financial  arrangements  linve 
practlrally  been  effected  with  Boston  fi- 
nancial interests  whereby  the  whole 
Grand  Trunk  construction  policy  In 
New  England,  including  its  entrance 
into  BoMon,  wlH  be  provided  for  Uy  tlit* 
Massachusetts    Legislature.

WILMINGTON,  N.  C.  D-'c.  28.— The 
United  States  revenue  cutter  Seminole 
reafhed  port  tonight,  carrying  the^ 
rescued  crew  of  the  American  four- 
masted  schooner  Savannah,  which  is 
hard    and    fast    on    I-"rylng    Pan    Shoal. 

To  prevent  the  Savannah  from  being 
a  floating'  derelict  and  ii  menace  to  com- 
merce, the  stranded  vessel  may  have  to 
be  de8troye<l  with  gun-cotton  mines. 
The  Seminole  will  put  back  to  the 
Savannah's  aid  upon  belnjf  re-coaled, 
anil  an  effort  vill  be  made  to  haul  the 
.schooner  into  deep  water.  If  the  slilp  s 
back  is  broken,  as  is  feared,  and  she 
cannot  he  saved,  t.'apt.  Garden  of  "he 
Seminole  will  recommend  that  the  boat 
lie   destroyed.

The  year's  building  figures  bear  elo- 
quent testimony  to  the  great  growlli 
of  Victoria.  When  the  ttnal  returns 
arc  complied  by  Building  Inspector 
Northcott  next  Tuesday  evening  the 
result  will  show  the  magnlllcent  in- 
crease over  last  year  of  fully  one  hun- 
dred per  cent  In  the  value  of  structures 
for  which  permits  have  been  issued  for 
the    twelve    months. 

Yesterday  the  total  passed  the  eight 
million  mark,  the  Issue  or  the  permit 
for  the  new  ten-storey  office  building 
to  be  erected  by  the  British  Columbl;i 
Permanent  Loan  Company,  northeast 
Corner  of  .lohnson  and  Douglas  Streets, 
adding  $250,000  to  the  total.  Other 
permits  aggregating  in  value  $14,575 
swelled  the  year's  total  to  the  figure  or 
$8,040,000.  and  In  the  two  remaining 
days  of  the  year  this  figure  will  still 
be   further   increased. 

The  total  value  of  the  structures  for 
which  permits  were  Issued  during  1911 
was  $4,026,000.  In  addition  $100,000 
was  added  for  additions  to  buildings 
for  which  permits  were  not  required. 
To  the  total  for  the  present  year  ap- 
proximately $130,000  will  be  added  for 
structures  and  additions  to  buildings 
not  requiring  the  issuance  of  permits 
as,  for  example,  the  alterations  to  the 
Court  House,  costing  $30.«)00:  the  ad- 
ditions to  the  plant  of  the  Canadian 
Puget  Sound  Lumber  Company,  and 
other    improvements. 

Or«»t«r  Tlotort»'s  Orowtb 
The  total  for  Greater  Victoria  last- 
year  was  approj^liTiately  16,000,000.  This 
year,  with  the  great  impetus  In  build- 
ing operations  In  Oalt  Bay.  Esquimau 
and  the  neighboring  portion  of  South 
Saanich.  the  total  will  be  Increased  by 
$2,000,000,  over  one-half  ot  which  Is 
made  up  by  Oak  Bay.  The  aggregate 
for  Greater  Victoria  this  year  will  be 
well  over  $10,000,000  a  showing  which 
few  cities  In  the  Dominion  can  mako 
and  one  wlilch  bears  eloquent  testimony 
to  the  great  increase  In  Victoria's 
prosporlty    and    progress. 

As  soon  as  the  necessary  materials 
can  be  secured  work  on  the  new  build- 
ing of  the  British  Columbia  Permanent 
Loan  Company  will  be  commenced  by 
the  Sound  Construction  Company,  to 
whom  the  contract  has  been  let.  The 
structure  will  be  a  magnlBcent  addition 
to  the  already  larse  number  of  hand- 
some blocks  adorning  the  downtown 
section  of  the  city  and  will  b?  hi  full 
compliance  with  the  new  building  regu- 
lations which  means  that  it  Will  be  fire- 
proof in  evary  particular.  The  plans 
have  been  prepared  by  Mr.  H.  S.  Orlf- 
flths,   aroliltect. 

Other  permits  Issued  yesterday  w«r» 
those  to  Mr.  Wllllan}  Scowcroft  for  a 
handsome  ten-room«d  dwelling  on 
Soiithgate  Street  to  cost  fl,i>00.  the 
plans  of  which  were  prepared  by  Mr. 
W.  E.  Green  and  the  contract  for  erec- 
tion ot  which  has  been  I«t  to  Mr. 
Thomas  McArthur;  and  td'  Mrs.  Mtna 
M.  White,  eight-roomed  Aw+UIng  on

Paul  Splntlum  .Indians  upon  whose 
heads  a  price  of  $3,000  had  been  sot  by 
the   Province,   are  now   in   custody. 

Three  murders  are  credited  to  them, 
the  first  ttuil  of  Whyto.  a  squawman, 
whom  ihe.\-  shot  in  October  of  1911  in 
a  drunken  l)rawl  near  Clinton.  They 
were  arrested  and  hflrl  in  ilie  Insecure 
Jail  at  that  place  awaiting  trial  at  the 
assizes  to  be  held  at  CUnlqn  In  the  first 
week  in  May  last.  At  their  preliminary 
hearing  the  main  evidence  upon  wliich 
the  <;ommitment  was  st'cured  was  Klven 
by  a  Chinaman,  Ah  Wye,  wlio  letslficd 
to  having  seen  them  drinklni;  with

become  involved  in  a  quarrel  with  the 
white   men.

LONDON.  Dec.  28.— While  reports  of 
scores  of  Jives  lost  and  many  vessels 
wrecked  In  yesterday's  gale  continue  to 
come  In,  there  was  great  relief  here  last 
night  when  it  was  learned  that  the 
storm  battered  P.  &  O.  liner  Narrarung, 
which  left  here  for  Sydney,  Australia, 
with  24  8  parssengers,  and  sent  out  wire- 
less appeals  tor  help  on  Boxing  Day, 
when  in  the  Bay  of  Biscay,  lias  arrived 
at  the  Isle  of  Wight  under  her  own 
st<em. 

Owing  to  tlie  high  seas,  the  White 
Star  liner  Baltic  from  New  York  with 
516  passengers  and  a  great  quantity  of 
New  Vear'a  mail  for  Queenstown,  was 
unable  to  approacli  that  port  last  even- 
ing and   had   to  proceed   to    Liverpool. 

The  floods  have  done  damage  through- 
out England.  At  Portsmoutli  a  wedding 
party  had  to  be^  conveyed  to  the  church 
in  boats,  and  the  old  Sallyport  landing- 
stage  used  there  by  Nelson  was  swept 
away. 

The  telegraph  lines  to  Krnnce  were 
otit  of  commission  most  of  yesterday, 
but  late  last  night  the  storm  abated

CHRISTIANlA.  Norway,  Dec.  28,— 
Heavy  storms,  the  most  severe  In  a 
generation, 'continue  to  rage  at  South- 
ern Norwegian  ports,  and  a  great  num- 
ber of  vessels  have  been  compelled  to 
remain  in  the  harbors,.  Several  ships 
have  been  lost.  Wrecks  have  occurred 
where  those  gathered  on  shore  were  im- 
able  to  give  aid  to  the  passengers  and 
crew.  Several  ships  are  ri<llng  et  an-

LONDON,  Dec.  21— The  question  of 
danger  to  the  stability  of  St.  Paul's  Ca- 
thoJral.  which  has  agiUted  the  minds 
of  I^ndonera  for  many  years,  has  been 
roopenod  by  a  proposal  which,  if  Car- 
ried out,  would  be.  according  to  Mr. 
Morvln  McArtney,  the  architect  of  the 
catticdral,  the  most  serious  peril  that 
hab.  evor  threatened  this  magnificent 
structure. 

The  London  Council,  in  the  face  of 
repeated  warnings,  has  pushf^d  forward 
a  scheme  to  build  an  underground  tram- 
way close  to  the  structure.  It  has  al- 
ready bought  a  block  of  buildings  near 
the  cathedral  at  cost  of  ♦1,500,0*0  for 
the  purpojie  of  starting  the  eubway.^and 
will,  If  woceaaary.  bor«  to  the  depth  of 
twrinty-onis  feel,  only  four  foet  above 
the  actual  foundation  of  the  cathedral, 
and  ohly  sixty  feet  from  the  east  end. 
which  Is  the  weakest  part  of  the  edifice. 

Mr.  McArtney,  In  an  interview  on  the 
subject,  says:  "Tunnels  or  excavating 
work  Of  a,ny  kind  will  tend  to  disturb 
the  water  lodged  In  the  subsoil  and 
drain  It  off.  Only  •©  long  as  the  aub- 
solf  rwoMkna  uftaffepted  will  the  safety 
of  tho  biMWlng  be^ertaln.  The  draining 
Of  the  subnoll  h«a  been  pointed  out  by

it  Ilk  ltt«  and  Penrose  In  1894."

VALDHZ.  Alaska,  Dec.  28.— Every 
lodge  of  the  Arctic  Brotherhood  In 
Alaska  and  the  Yukon  will  send  dele- 
gates to  a  convention  in  Juneau  on 
March  12.  to  consider  sece«8ion  from 
the  Grand  Lodge,  which  has  permlttid 
the  formation  of  subordinate  lodg'^s  '.n 
Seattle  and  other  cities  in  the  L'\.?lflo 
Coast  sUtes.  Action  will  be  taken  in 
the  courta  to  prevent  camps  outside 
using  the  ritual  or  name  of  the  Arctic 
Brotherhood. 

Mutterlngs  against  the  alleged  viola- 
tion of  the  conatitutlon  of  the  Brother- 
hood began  In  the  fall  of  1»09,  when 
President  Taft,  on  a  visit  to  the  Seattle 
world's  fair,  was  initiated  into  the  order 
with  public  ceremonies,  and  elected  A 
past  chief  offlccT.  It  was  contend** 
that  a  person  who  Had  never  lived  In 
Alaska  or  Yukon  territory  could  not  be 
a  memljer.  Afterward,  It  Is  alleged, 
camps  were  formed  indiscriminately  In 
the  Coast  cities.

IjONDOX,  Dec.  28, — The  brief  aessir;  t 
of  the  Peace  Conference  today  brough;' 
the  Balkan  delegatoa  to  their  feel  i  i 
protest  agaln.1t  the  counter-proposal  i 
put  forward  by  Rechad  Pasha  in  behal ' 
of  the  Ottoman  Government.  Turkey'.* 
maximum  demands  are  considered  very 
sweeping,  and  when  adjournment  was 
taken  to  Monday  afternoon  it  was  e\  1- 
dent  that  the  Turks  must  lower  their 
demands  greatly  or  consent  to  negotiate 
on  a  basis  of  terms  proposed  by  the 
Allies. 

If  they  attempt  to  stand  by  their  gun^ 
or  resort  to  strategy,  the  Allies  may 
break  the  negotiations.  It  is  considered 
not  improlMiblo  that  Turkey  desires  this, 
with  tho  hope  of  intervention  by  tha 
Powers,  which  would  lead  to  a  Euro- 
pean conference  of  mediation.  The  plen- 
ipotentiaries then  could  say  to  the  Mus- 
sulman world  that  they  yielded  to  the 
pressure   of   all    Europe. 

The   Allies   do   riot   object    to    the   ac-  ' 
ceptanco    of    mediation,    if   It    is    under-  j 
stood   that  the   mediators   must   resp-.  ct 
the     territorial     acquieltions     resulting ' 
from    the  war.      Americans      who      wit-  j 
nossed  the  Russo-Japanese  negotiations  < 
at  Portsmouth,  wKea  "the  tilffldulty  of  in- 
ducing Russia  to  renounce  Korea,   Port! 
'Arthur  •nd  Dalny  and  divide  SagUallon 
Island  seemed  Insurmountable,  will  not 
be   surprised   at   what  is    oecurrtng    in 
London.     Although  the  territories  under 
dtispute    are    smaller,    the    iiitercets    af- 
fected   and    involved    are      greater    aid 
more  complicated,     having  relation     to

the    delegates    of    tho    proposals    of   hisj 
Imperial     Government     for     concluding; 
peace.     He  read  tho  terms,  which  were! 
as  follows:  , 

"First — Tho  province  of  Adrlanople  to , 
remain  under  the  direct  admlnletratlon ' 
of  Turkey.'^ 

Second— Macedonia     to     be  convel-ted 
into  a  principality  with  Salonika  as  Its 
capital.      The   principality    to    be   under  | 
the  suaerainty  of  l^ho  Sultan  of  Turkey  j 
but  governed  by  a  prince  choaen  by  the 
Balkan   Allies  and   nominated     by     thej 
Sultan    of    Turkey.      The    prince    to    be' 
a  Protestant  and  form  a  neittral  atate.      ' 

Third — Albania  to  be  autonomous 
under  the  aoverolgnty  of  the  Sultan  t 
and  governed  by  a  prince  of  the  Impe- 
rial Ottoman  -  family,  who  la  to  be 
chosen  for  a  term  of  flyo  yeara  with 
the  posaibillty  of  a  renewal  of  the  ap- 
polntment.  i 

Fourth— All  the  islands  of  the  Aegeaai 
Sea  to  remain  Turkish. 

Fifth— The  Cratan  auaatloti  not  to  bej

©nce.  as  it  la  a  m«tter  between  Turkey  j 
and  th*  great  Buropaan  powera."

The  chief  of  Turkey's  delegate*  could!

■tO'lng  he  ^M  not  intend  to  offend   the

INDIANAPOLIS.  Ind..  Dec.  28.— The 
I'nlted  States  Government  with  stem 
and  decisive  swiftness  today  took  into 
Us  posses.sloii  tlility-elslu  union  laboi' 
offlilals  convicted  of  conspiracy,  of  pro- 
moting explosion.^  on  non-union  A-ork 
throughout  the  land,  of  aldlnj  in  tho 
destruction  which  brought  loss  of  life 
in  hos  Angeles,  Ctillfornla,  and  of  car- 
rying on  a  "reign  of  terror""  declared 
to  be  unparalleled  .In  the  history  of  the 
country. 

.\lmo,st  the  entire  executive  staff  ot 
the  International  Association  of  Bridge 
and  Structural  Iron  Workers  was  con- 
victed. Only  two  officers  of  this  union 
now  remain  out  of  Jail.  At  the  head  of 
the  list  of  these  convicted  stands  Frank 
M.    Uyaii,    the   president. 

1 1  was  of  this  union  of  12,000  tneni- 
bers  that  John  J.  MtNanmra  was  sec- 
re  tairy-trea.surer,  while  he  conducted  the 
flynami tings  uut  of  which  the  present 
ron\  ictlon.s    grew. 

Herman  G.  Self  fort,  Mil  v,aukir..  aiiu 
Daniel  Buckley,  of  Davenport,  la  .  wn 
the   two   acquitted. 

Origin  of  Indlctmenta 
Today's  convictions,  comina  on  a 
seali  unprecedented  In  a  federal  court, 
were  an  aftermath  of  the  killing  of 
twenty-onp  personK  in  the  blowing  up 
of  the  L.OS  Angeles  Times  Building  on 
Octobeir  I,  1910.  McNaniara  and  his 
brother  James  B.,  three  times  dyna- 
miter, are  convicts  in  California.  Hyan 
and  his  fellow  ofticlals,  former  assocl- 
ateu  of  McNamara.  are  federal  prison- 
ers here  awaiting  sentence. 

Two  of  the  L'OnvictMl  wc«rc  not  af- 
miated  with  the  Iron  Workers'  Union, 
but  they  were  found  guilty  of  Joining 
with  the  union  officials  In  promoting 
the  conspiracy.  One  of  these  is  Olaf  A. 
Tvoi«mf>«>_  of  *?»"  VrancUro.  «.  recotrnlz- 
ed  labor  leader  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  the 
testimony  against  whom  was  that  he 
aided  In  causing  explosions  in  Los 
Angeles,  'vrole  letters  about  them  and 
referred  to  them  as  "Christmas  pres- 
ent.'?," after  the  fatal  explosion  in  Loa 
Angelc.x,  and  that  he  aided  in  conceal- 
ing evidence  wanted  in  California.  He 
l.s  secretary  of  the  California  Building 
Trades    Council. 

Hrani  R.  Kline,  of  Munsle,  member  of 
another  union,  convicted,  was  formerly 
an  organiacr  for  the  United  Brotherhood 
of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  In  Detroit 
The  result  of  the  Los  Angeles  explos- 
ion came  in  the  conviction  of  J.  E.  Mun- 
se^■,  who  was  charge<i  by  the  Govern- 
ment with  harboring  James  B.  McNam-

M.  Novakovltch  aaked  the  Turks  to 
Bay  openly  whether  the  proposal  repre- 
sented   their    l>ist    word. 

Uechad  Pasha  was  evidently  discon- 
certed by  this  point  blank  question.  He 
eluded  a  direct  answer,  saying  that  his 
Instructions  did  not  authorise  a  reply 
either    way. 

M.  VenlzeloH.  offered  an  Interpreta- 
tion of  the  desire  of  the  Allies.  He  de- 
clared that  they  never  would  accept  a 
discussion  of  reforms,  espectally  con- 
cerning Mai^edonia,  and  especially  at 
this  stage,  when  it  was  not  a  riuestion 
of  reforms,  but  a  question  of  ceding 
territories  taken  by  force  of  arms,  and 
thus   rlghtl.\-   belonglng'.to   the   victors. 

Hechnd  Pasha,  in  view  of  the  turn 
taken  by  the  discussion,  declared  that 
he  would  transmit  to  Constantinople 
the  observations  made  by  the  Allies  In 
the  hope  that  lie  woiiUl  receive  by  Mon- 
day the  ret>1y  of  his  government,  which

BT  PETERSBITRG,  Doc.  28. --A  sijlit 
in  the  Russian  Orthodox  Clinrch  i.s 
threatened  through  the  unfrocklnk  of 
the  monk  Mcllodorus  by  the  Holy  Hynod. 
Helldodorus  caused  a  sensation  a  f6»w 
days  ago  by  announcing  his  withdrawal 
from  the  Orthodox  Ch'arch.  Now  his 
followers,  to  the  number  of  8000,  have 
notified  the  Holy  Synod  of  their  inti-'n- 
tion  to  quit  the  Orthodox  Church,  ,ind 
of  suing  the  Holy  Synod  for  $25(),0()0 
in  the  event  of  the  synod  turning  tho 
t.'hurch  of  Hollodorus  at  Tsaritsyn,  in 
Uw  Province  of  Snratox,  which  was 
built  by  the  people,  into  a  convent  or  a 
hospital. 

Disciple.'?  of  IJoliodorus  today  sent  a 
telegram  to  the  Octchrlst  member.?  of 
the  Douma  domanding  a  public  trial  foi- 
Hcliodor\is,  and  denouncing  the  "profan-

press,  being  lost,  ho  proposed  a  special 
tribune  for  the  Journalists  in  the  hall 
of  S.  James.  He  dllatfd  on  the  im- 
possibility of  dealing  with  the  Turkish 
demands. 

Rechad  Pasha  interrupted  to  ask  why 
Dr.  Daneff  answered  that  he  would  not 
even  enter  Into  the  merits  of  the  nues- 
tion  of  the  Ottoman  claims  being  pre- 
posterous. 

M.  MiyuBkovltch,  the  Montenegrin 
delegate,  remarked  that  Turkey  had 
•not  even  respected  the  decision  of  the 
Powers.  It  had  been  agreed  by  the 
Ambassadors'  Conference  that  Albania 
should  bo  autonomous  under  only  the 
susseralnUv  of  the  Sultan,  with  a  ruling 
prince  from   the   Sultan's   family. 

M.  Madbaroff,  the  Bulgarian  minister 
at  London,  declared  that  the  whole  pro- 
cednri^  was  wrong.  He  pointed  out  that 
aa  the  Allies  had  presented  their  terms, 
Turkey  should  have  offered  real  conn  tor- 
proposals,  that  Is.  raal  changes,  altera- 
tions or  refusals,  and  should  not  have 
Ignored  them,  to  present  a  totally  dif- 
ferent  scheme. 

Premier  Venlaselos  asked,  for  the  sake 
of  historic  ciirloslty,  that  cople.s  of  the 
document  which  Rechad  Paaha  had  read, 
be  given  to  delegates,  and  the  sitting 
waa  suspended  while  tho  secretaries 
made  copies.  When  the  sitting  was  re- 
sumed the  Turkish  delegates  delivered 
a  copy  to  each  delegate. 

ynrtli*r   Argiunaat 

Rechad  Pasha,  In  reopening.  ex- 
pounded what  evidently  was  the  main 
argvimcnt  of  Turkey  in  spite  of  her 
claims.  He  said  the  Powers,  since  the 
beginning  of  the  troubl«fa  with  the  Bal- 
kan States,  had  daelared  that  In  .  case 
of  a  conflict,  whatever  its  results,  no- 
body would  gain  from  Itf  the  Powers 
being  determined  to  maintain  the 
status  quo. 

t>r.  Dnnaff  retorted:  "But  you  forget 
that  after  the  war  «U  the  premiers  of 
tha  Powera  recognised  that  the  ,  stattis 
QUO  w»k  ended,  and  that  it  wtts  Im- 
posBlbla  to  continue  a  policy  baiied-on  Its

most  difficult  problem  to 
solve,.  We  have  studied 
Boys'  Clothes — conclud-

they  must  have  a  certain

The  expectation  that  next  soason  the 
United    States    would    kill    Beale.on    the 
Prlbyloff    Islands,   ,ln    which    event    the 
Dominion  of  Canada  would  be  interested 
to  the  extent  of  fl'teen  pej  cent  of  the 
value   brought   by   the  pelts   on   account 
of  the  treaty  entered  Into  last  December 
for    the   abolition   of  pelagic   sealing    for 
fltfeen  years,  was  borne  o\it  by  a  Wash- 
ington     dispatch      published      ye.storday 
morning.       This     gave     the    Information 
that   Dr.   Starr  Jordan,  of  Stanford  Uni- 
versity,   wlio   ha.s   posed   as   an   authority 
on    seal    life,    and    Mr.    George    A.    Clark, 
of    the   United    States    Bureau    of    Fish- 
eries,  have   urgod    the    repeal   of   the  act 
passed     at     AVashlngton     in     which     the 
spirit    of    the    treaty    was    violated,    for 
the   suspension   of  killing  on    the   Prlby- 
loff    rookeries    for    five    years.       Japan 
reciiritly   threatened     to      repudiate     the 
treaty,   in   which    Canada,   Japan,    Uussla 
and    the    United    States    arc    interested, 
if    the    act    suspending    the    land  lU 111 tm 
for  five  years  was  not  repealed. 

Oraat  Xiocal  Xndastry 
IJnder  The  terms  of   the   treaty   ft   was 
provided  that  |10,000  a  year   vvas   to   be 
paid    to   Canada   and    a   slml'.ar   amount 
to   Japan    In   any   year  that   kll'lpg   was 
suspended   on   the  seal    Islands,   but   fins 
amount  is  a   meagre  sum   in  comparison 
i\lth  that  which  Canada  and  Japan  will 
dciive,    because    the   sealers    of    the    two 
countries   built   up   an   industry   of  seal- 
killing  at  sea.     In  Canada  the  industry 
was  confined   to  Victoria.     The  Victoria 
Sealing  Company,  which  until  a  year  or 
two     ago     practically      Included      every 
schooner     in     the     business — five     inde- 
pendent   schooners   have   also   been   sent 
out    during    the    pa.st     few    years— car- 
ried   on    the    Industry    under    grave    re- 
strictions,   .-"Ince    the    unfair    regulations 
following  the  Paris  Award  were  brought 
into    effect    many    years    ago.    and,    de- 
spite   the    hardships,    the    industry    de- 
veloped  to  such   an   extent  that  Canada 
was    given    ii»    rigiil    t"    Suar<=    In    t...- 
rookeries    of    the    .North    Pac'fic    Ocean, 
all    outside   the   territory    of   the    Donii'i- 
ion.     It  was  due  alone  to  th.?  enterprise 
and  Industry  of  these  soalers  of  VI -tor. a 
that   the  Canadian   Government  dbtatne.! 
the   right  to  share  In   the  herds,  a  share 
which     conservative     experts      estimate 
will    net    the    Dominion    Government    at 
least    five — probably    many    more — mU- 
ItOn   dollars. 

Last  year,   the  first  year  that  the  pel- 
agic   sealers    have    not    gone    from    Vic- 
toria  and    Japan,    the   seals   of    the    Pri- 
byloff   Islands    increa.«od   over   88,000    in 
nvlmber— the    estimate    made    by     Prof. 
1-r.   W"".    Elliott   was   that   the   Increase   In 
the    first    year    would    he    about    27,000. 
The  females  alone  Increased  over  34,000. 
In  their  report  Professor  .lordanand  Mr 
Clark   hold      that     suspension      of      land 
klling    is    entirely      unnecessary,      main- 
taining   that    pelagic    sealing    alone    was 
responsible  for  the  decline  of  the  herds, 
and   now  that  pelagic  seating  is  stopped 
by    reason    of    the    treaty,    land    killing 
should    be    carried    on     each    year.       In 
1910   the  number  of  seals  killed  by   the 
United    States    Government    on    the    Pri- 
byloffs   was   about   12, .500.      At    the   rale 
of    15    per   cent,   Canada's   share,   at    the 
price   then    paid    for    skins,    would    have 
boon    J5B,000.      There   were,  according   to 
the   census    made    by    the    United    Slates 
officials,   145,195  seals     on     the     Islands 
then.      AVith    increases    In     1!>11    and    a 
further    increase    of    88,000    during    this 
year,     there     are     nearly     double     that 
number    now^    and    approximately    from 
25,000    to    30,000    seals    could    be    safely 
killed  during  the  coming  season,  and  In- 
creasing   numbers    with    every    succeed- 
ing year.     "With  the  advancing  price  of 
pelts,  Ca,nada  should  receive  over  1150,- 
000    as     the    Dominion's    share    of     the 
proceeds  of  the  kllUng  during  the   first 
year,    and    probably    from     1200,000     to 
$250,000   the  succeeding  year,  with   ever 
IncreaBlng  amounts   during  the   term   of 
the  life  of  the  treaty,  which   was  made 
for  fifteen   years,  and   will    probably   be 
renewed  then. 

Koptnff  for  Coinmla«ioix 
The  aealers  of  Victoria  have  placed 
Canada  in  a  position  to  secure  quite  an 
addition  to  the  revenue  of  the  rJomln- 
lon,  and  the  only  shadow  of  right  the 
country  has  to  receive  the  share  la  be- 
cause of  the  Industry  built  up  by  the 
sealers  of  Victoria.  These  latter  are 
now  awaiting  componaatlon  from  the 
Government,  seeking  a  return  of  the^ 
capital  invested  by  them  In  the  Induatfy 
from  which  they  have  been  driven,  to 
the  greet  advantage  of  the  Dominion  as 
a  Whole,  but  with  heavy  loss  to  them- 
■elves.   * 

The  sealers  are  hopeful  that  ere  long 
a  commission  will  bo  appointed  to  hear 
their  case,  and  they  anticipate  that 
when  a  'Kearlng  Is  given  them  their 
claims  will  be  paid.  The  total  claims 
win  represent  a  very  meagre  portion  of 
the  revenue  which  will  atjcrue  to  the 
Domjlnion  of  Canada  from  the  Prlbyloff 
Island  rooicerieB  alone,  without  conside- 
ration of  the  Japanese  and  Russian 
rookerias,  In  which  Canada  will  alao  re- 
ceive A  flhar«.

THE     TEBaSIKAX.     FULNS 

We    print    tho    Tuimlnal      PlanM      fnls 
inorninff.       They     tell     tlielr    own    story,

excellent    cle.scriiulnn    for    which    wc    are 
Indebted   to   Mr.    Lewis,    the   resident  en- 
gineer   of    tlK!    Canadian    Northern    Fa- 
clflc  Railway   Company.     The  plans   wlU 
'.  well    repay    study    and    tho    moro      they 
'  are    examined    the    better    the    arrangL- 
:  ment    will   be  appreciated.      We   think   it 
'  desirable  ^0  jncntlon    that    thiis   plan    Is 


macl«  the  statement  that  Canada  ahould 
have  fleet  units  of  her  own  on  eltiier 
CoHBt,  but  he  liaH  given  no  Inkllnj;  of 
how  It  is  possible  ti>  achloyc  ^uc•h  a 
reiiuU.  Me  has  s^d  nothlTigr  About  the 
establlslinient  of  shlpbuildlnff  .vji'<1s,  of 
steel  Industries,  of  arsenals,  .'f  the 
manner  In  which  men  may  be  recrultetl. 
Theae  thlnKs  may  be  to  him  a  inr.tter 
of  mere  detail  but  according  to  our  way 
of  thlnkinir  they  constitute  the  whole 
crux  of  the  situation.  He,  w^'>n  In 
power,  showed  no  aptitude  for  deiSlni; 
with  such  "detail's,"  and  from  tht.H  ft>cl 
It  Iti  safe  to  assume  that  hl.s  pollv'V  a? 
regards  the  present  Naval  Bill  lontlnues 
to  be  one  of  opportunism. 

Among  the  very  great  mujority  of 
Canudlanii  we  bolleve  that  the  /Icfire 
exhsts  to  give  some  alil,  not  only  of  an 
effective  character,  but  iiuiiiedlately,  Iti 
the  defenceti  of  the  lOmplre.  This  Is  ii 
que.«tlon  with  which  there  lias  licen  loo 
j  much  dallylnif.  We  ourselves,  and,  wts 
I  liellfT'.-e,  the  people  of  this  country,  are 
willing  10  m-cept  the  advice  of  the 
Admiralty  at  the  present  Juncture,  for 
\v('  have  had  reason  to  trust  this  board 
in  til',  past.  What  Is  wanted  now  Is  to 
provide  for  the  existing  emergency, 
lehvlng  to  the  future  the  evolutiunOi  a 
permanent  naval  policy  which  will  bat'.cl 
np,  on  a  sound  and  substantial  basis, 
something  worth  while,  conso-'ant  wU!i 
the  dignity  of  the  Dominion,  and  In 
lln »    with    the    strategic    iwUey    of    the 


intended  only  to  show  how  the  Reserve 
Is  to  be  divided,  and  tiie  railway  plans 
as  far  us  they  have  been  developed. 
In  respect  to  the  Canadian  Northern 
I'aclflc,  the  plans  as  shown  are  sub- 
«tantlally    tlnal.  The    Cai\adian  .    Pa- 

cific has  yet  to  announce  its  t.Tack- 
Hse  on  the  area  set  aside  for  the  lO.s- 
quimalt  nnd  Nanairao  Railway.  It  Is 
not  to "  be  Inferred  from  the  published 
plan  that  neither  of  the  companies  has 
In  contemplation  terminal  arrangements 
outside  of  the  limits  of  the  Reserve. 
"Whatever  tiieso  may  be,  they  are  not 
Kcrmane  to  the  settlement  which  the 
Government  has  been  instrumental  In  ac- 
iHimpllsiilng.  What  furth-er  provisions 
these  companies  may  contemplate  for 
the  convenient  handling  of  traffic  la 
something  which  they  themselves  must 
determine  and  with  which  the  Provincial 
Government  will  have  nothing  to  do, 
except  to  pass  upon  them  when  they 
liave  been  ^urmlned  upon  by  the  com- 
panies. The  plan  published  does  not 
show  any  provisioji  for  a  bridge  to 
L.aurel  Point,  but.  as  we  have  already 
explained,  the  trackage  can  bo  made 
conformable  to  such  a  structure,  either 
from    the    8-foot    or    the    34-foot   level. 

An  Interesting  feature  of  the  location 
of  the  railway  line.?  is  the  new  street 
to  ICaqulmalt,  which  will  be  so  located 
as  to  avoid  the  new  trackage.  To  very 
many  people  this  will  seem  one  of  tho 
most  valuable  results  reached  In  the 
detailed  working  out  of  the  plans. 

The  arrangement  admits  of  develop- 
ment and  extension  of  terminal  facili- 
ties almost  to  an  unlimited  extent.  .Ml 
the  harbor  to  be  created  by  the  break- 
water and  all  the  great  shore  line  we.st 
of  the  Reserve  and  extending  a.s  far 
as  may  be  dc-slrable  will  be  acoosaibla 
from  these  terminals.  It  may  bo  added 
that  the  Canadian  Northern  Paclftc",=i 
plans  as  they  have  been  disclosed  pro- 
.  vide  for  the  entry  of  the  line  Into  tlie 
city  and  for  a  connection  with  the  'Hne 
to  tlic  ■\\"fst  Coast  in  what  will  un- 
<ioubtedly  be  the  i|ulckefa  i)osslbk' 
way.  Whatever  may  develop  in  tiie 
future,  the  line  aromid  tiic  head  of 
Portage  Inlet  would  be  essential  to 
relieve  the  congestion  of  trafflc  that 
would  otherwise  certainly  occur  along 
the  waterfront.  The  terminal  ar- 
rangements have  only  been  readied-  af- 
ter great  labor,  but  we  arc  confident 
that  they  will  prove  in  the  highest  de- 
gree satisfactory.  Great  as  they  are. 
they  are  only  a  beginning  of  wliat  is 
to  be.

It  Is  stated  tliat  as  a  result  of  a 
conference  of  l-lberal  leaders  at  Mon- 
treal that  the  Opposition  Is  determined 
to  block  the  Naval  I511I.  and  that  it  is 
hoped  to  force  a  dlssoluthni  before  the 
end  "of  next  summer.  We  big  leave 
to  disbelieve  this  report,  Sir  Wilfrid 
Laurler  iB  not  in  -Montreal  and  It  \n 
very  unlikely  that  any  such  decision 
would  have  been  readied  at  any  confer- 
ence where  he  was  not  present.  The 
Literal  leader  and  his  colieaguea  may 
be  sincere  In  their  belief  that  the 
mathods  of  naval  defence  proposed  by 
Mr.  Borden  on  an  ooctwiion  of  emerg- 
ency are  not  the  right  ones.  We  can 
it«;arcely  credit  the  belief,  however,  that 
th»y  sre  striving  to  make  the  question 
of  national  security  a  party  issue.  It 
l«  perfectly  legitimate  to  define  a  policy 
and  Ao  stite  what  this,  that,  or  the 
other  ruMi  may  think  Is  the  best  thing

All  Canadians  will  join  In  sincere  con- 
gratulations to  Sir  Mackenzie  Bowell. 
who  colobrated  his  89th  birthday  by 
working  at  his  editorial  desk  yesterday. 
.Sir  Mackenxio  is  a  fine  sample  of  man- 
liood.  .simple  and  unaffected,  yet  dig- 
nified withal,  ho  wears  the  snowy  gar- 
land of  his  years  as  becomes  one  who 
iias  ll\ed  a  life  of  honest  end.'.av<ir.  In 
whatever  station  his  lot  lias-bcon  cast 
he-  has  exhibited  tlioMo  nuallties  which 
mako  a  man  useful  to  hl.s  day  anil  gen- 
eration and  command  tho '  affectionate 
esteem  of  all  .who  have  the  honor  of 
his  friendship.  \\  e  wish  iiim  many 
happy  returns  of  the  anniversary.  '  It 
has  been  given  to  fow  men  to  enter  thoir 
ninetieth  year  with  their  pen  in  hand, 
discharging,  with  the  wisdom  wliicli 
comes  with  age,  the  duty  of  guiding; 
public    opinion. 

THE    TBIFi:.E    AXiI^IAHOE 

The    Triple    Alliance    was    renewed      a 
few   months  ago,  and    the   usual   felicita- 
tions   were   oftlclally    Indulged   in   b.v    the 
representatives   of    tho    several      govern- 
ments.     But    even    the    casual      ubsw^rver 
of   events   cannot    have   failed   to   reallJ-.e 
that   the   Triple   Alliance   in   1!»13   will  be 
sometliing    v^-ry    differtnt    in    fact    from 
wliat   It   was    In    ]88;i,    wln-n    it   was    IVsl 
formed,    even    though    .-xlernally    it    may 
.seem    to    be    the    same    thing.        The    Al- 
liance  was   formeil    in    tlie   first    instance 
Ijecause    of    the    apparent    preponderance 
of    Germany    In    the    affairs    of       conti- 
nental  I'^urope,   and   tliere   is   little   d<:ubt 
that    tile   object  of   Bismarck,    its    found- 
er,   was    to    bring    about    German    hege- 
ipony    in    Europe.      l''or    this    purpose    It 
was    necessary    to    laolate    Fiancf,      and 
this   was   very   effectually   accomplished. 
But   German    supremacy    did    not    follow, 
that  is  not  such   a  supremacy  as    is   Im- 
plied   in    the    word    hegemony.      Mad    tha 
Kals<-r     permitted     the.     Iron     Chancellor 
to  complete  his  work  his  counti-y  miglil 
Uavebecom;-     the     arbltiT  of  tlie  destinies 
of   Kurope;    but   wlion    the    inastei's   hiiiiii 
was    removed     the    great    political       ma- 
chine  made  a  course   for  lt.-<elf.  Austria- 
Hungary    and     Italy     have    gained     more 
from    the    Alliance    than    has    Germany. 
They    have    greatly    Increased    In    power 
and    Influence,    wher»n«    Germany      lia.s 
not   maintained   relatively   the   place   she 
occupl-ed    at    the   close    of    the    war    with 
1"  ranee.       Italy     felt    strong     enough     to 
resist    the    wishes   of   her   northern   ally, 
and    Invaded    Tripoli.      Austria-Hungary 
annexed     Bosnia     and       the       Dalmatian 
Coast,    whereby    her    »<aboard    hoa    been 
extended       for       fully       two-thirds       the 
length   of   the   Adriatic   and   she   nas   be- 
come   a    maritime    nation.         Meanwhile 
Germany    has    had    to    be    content      witli 
"rattling  the   sabre,"    expending   millions 
upon  millions   in   making   herself   strong 
and    gaining    not    even    prestige    by    tho 
process.      In    recent    years    it    has    been 
the  aim  <*f  Gerpian   statesmen   to  estab- 
lish  a   species   of    control    over     Turkey 
In    the    hope    that    a    German    sphere    of 
Influence    might    be    extended,    not    only 
as    far    as   Constantinople,    but    oven    tho 
Persian    Gulf.      The    Turkish    army    was 
trained    by    German    officers    and      sup- 
plied with  German  guns.     Wo  have  seen 
the    result. 

It  does  not  Bcem  to  have  occurred 
to  the  Kal»er  or  his  Ministers  that 
their  allies  might  have  ambitions  of 
their  own,  or  that  the  Balkan  prlnel- 
■  palltles  might  be  unwlUliNl  to  be  only 
pawns  in  the  gani«  of  International 
chess.  Kven  when  l^noe  pii^dinand  at

fedfracy.  If  not  an  empire,  that  will  ef- 
fectually block  all  German  designs  In 
Southeastern  Kurope  and  Southwestern 
Asia. 

It  will  have  been  observed  that  It 
Is  .Uistrla-Hungary,  whl<,h  Is  now  "rat- 
tling the  sword. "  There  is -not  the  least 
reason  for  supposing  the  Kaiser  to  be 
otherwise  than  sincere  In  his  expres- 
sions of  a  desire  to  promote  peace.  Ir- 
respective of  the  evidence  of  his  policy, 
since  the  lime  when  he  deposed  Bis- 
marck, which  bus  always  been  peace- 
ful, the  Kaiser  must  realize  that  Ger- 
many has  nothing  to  gain  by  a  war  over 
thc<italkan  cjucstiop.  Germany  has  been 
BhuUlng  the  lit^'.-  in  pas\  years  and  the 
other  members  of  the  Triple  Alliance, 
have  been  gathering  the  fruit,  and  tho 
statesmen  of  that  country  do  not  need 
to  be  told  that.  If  the  shaking  procesd 
is  to  be  renewed,  the  fruit  will  be  gath- 
ered   by    Austria    and    tlie    Balkan    allies. 

The  Object  of  this  article  Is  not  tu 
make  atiy  prognostications  as  to  tin 
future.  The  season  is  not  favorable  to 
political  prophets.  We  are  only  pre- 
sentltig  some  aspects  of  tha  situation 
in  Europe  as  far  as  they  affect  tho 
Triple  Alliance.  These  s. cm  to  show 
that  the  political  fabric,  rean-d  by  Bis- 
marck with  such  labor  ajid  cemented,  to 
use  hia  own  words,  "by  blood  and 
iron,"  Is  abotit  to  crumble  to  pieces. 
Th-    fii;-t    adverse    wind    will    tonpi-    it 

rapprochement  to  Great  Britain  and 
Russia  may  be  necessary  for  her  own 
security  and  to  be  the  only  means 
whereby  the  lu-ace  of  Kuropw  i.;aii  Ik  P>  i- 
raanently   secured. 


is  steadily  increasing  Its  Kastarn  busl- 
neea  and  the  question  of  extensions  by 
means  of  branches  in  Ontario  will  V' 
considered  'at  an  early  date.  In  every 
way  th-e  atatement  of  the  pri?sldent  Is 
both  clear,  concipe  and  optimistic  and 
the  institution  appears  to  be  getting  Its 
full  sWre  of  the  general  prosperity  of 
the  country.  Its  operations  in  the  West 
have  been  very  satisfactory,  and  the 
coming  year  will  doubtl^^as  see  numer- 
ous   new    branches   opened    in    this    part 


of    the    Dominion.

isrpi.uEiircE  OP  islam. 

The  waning  power  of  the  Sultan  sug- 
gests that  the  inlluence  of  Islam  may 
also  l)e  on  the  wane,  but  this  is  a  con- 
ci\)sii_'n  thai.  ina\  «.i!-  jittt.N  rujt  b^  wai*- 
rantod  liy  the  facts.  It  is  far  too  soon 
to  talk  of  finality  in  connection  wltii  the 
ieli).;iuu  founded  by  the  great  Arabian. 
Wc  are  accustomed  to  think  of  the  in- 
fluence of  thr.  Moslem  world  as  being 
largsly  for  r, :;.  Wc  think  of  the  Turk 
as  representing  it,  and  we  all  know  he 
has  not  many  friends  in  the  court  of 
Christendom.  lie  is  '  unspeaitable." 
Thai  he  deserves  a  good  deal  of  lil's 
bad  reputation  may  be  conceded;  but 
.Mr.  .Marmaduke  I'ecktall,  writing  in  The 
Xnuiteonih  Cuntury,  cixprossly  denies 
that  the  Turks  have  ever  persccutea 
Cliristians  for  their  faith.  He  says  the 
atrocltliis  coiTiinitU-d  liaw  always  beon 
by  way  of  revenge  for  real  or  fancied 
injustice  (lone  them  by  Christians  with- 
in Turkey  or  their  friends  in  other  coun- 
tries. If  thore  have  beon  massacres  of 
Christians  during  the  Balkan  war,  It  is 
only  fair  to  remember  the  'appeal  of 
i-"erd'itmrid  Of  Bulgaria  was  that  tiic 
ciirlKtlan  peoples  of  the  allied  stales 
should  rise  and  drive  the  Crescent  out 
of  Ihiropo  •  an-i  .  ■  i  tho  Cross  in  its 
stead. 

Hut  whatever  room  there  can  bo  for 
difference  of  opinion  on  thi;.  point,  tlier-;- 
can  be  nono  whatevor  as  to  the  l.utcl- 
lectual  Influence  of  the  Moslem  world, 
its  sclKdart-  gave  us  algebra  and  laid

(lie  ;».ohievoments  of  tlie  Moslem  world. 
'I'here  i,s  ;U,sn  no  do\ibt  at  all  that 
vn;y  mur'li  of  the  success  that  has  at- 
Ivndod  British  rule  In  India  lias  beon 
due  to  tlie  favorable  inlluence  exerted 
Uy  the  Moliammedsn  princes  of  that 
country.  Whether  or  not  tlie  people, 
who  hold  to  the  faith  of  Islam,  would 
have  been  bottT  If  they  had  embraced 
ClirlFtianity,  must  remain  an  unan- 
swered (lueslluu.  Its  aiiiiwer  Is  not  sim- 
plified by  oxaminatlnn  of  the  Christian 
people  within  Mohammedan  countries. 
If  we  could  look  at  the  Armenians  with 
unprejudiced  eyes  and  compare  them 
with  their  Mohammedan  neighbors,  we 
might  not  find  all  the  points  of  dlffor- 
cnca    to    be    In    favor    of    the    former. 

Let  us  loarn  to  be  fair  to  Islam  If 
It  Is  dying,  v/hicli  we  veiy  greatly 
doubt,  we  ouglit  not  to  forgot  the  good 
it  has  done  and  remombor  only  the  olvl; 
if  it  is  to  continue  es  an  Influence  upon 
the  minds  of  man,  we  wijl  be  wise  if  we 
ondaavor  to  regard  It'  with  as  little 
prejudice  as  possible.  Doubtless  from 
tho  point  of  view  of  thw  Moslem,  tho 
Cliristlan  is  as  objectionable  or  lie  i.-? 
to  us.  Tho  good  that  Is  In  both  of  us, 
is    very    closely    akin. 


If  you  were  asked  to  point  out  the 
luiimtry  whore  women  have  the  largest 
moasuro  of  rights  and  influence,  tho 
chances  are  that  you  would  select  some 
una  of  the  .states  of  the  American  Union 
which  has  a(loi)tcd  the  nowest  fad  In 
legislation.  Bui  that  is  where  you 
would  be  wrong.  If  you  are  seeliing 
tiio  country  whore  women  have  tho 
lilghc'St  social  status,  you  must  go  to 
ciiiuu.  Wlicii  a  Chlnose  woman  becomes 
a  widow  slie  bocomes  the  head  of 
tho  family.  *  If  hor  son  marrlo.s  and 
brings  homo  his  brid4,  the  mother  is 
not .  told  that  tdic  nriust  abandon  her 
homo  to  give  plaeo  tn  it^  ^^^  mistress 
but  she  remains   i  .i  of  the  houso- 

I'.old,  and  tho  bride  simply  bocomes,  so 
far  ■  as  Uomostlo  arrangements  are  con- 
cerned, a  da\ighter.  If  a  Chinaman  is 
appolntei  I e  dignities  and 


insignia  o)  uio  i^osi  belong  to  his  wife 
of  right,  and  not  merely  of  courtosy. 
That  would  be  much  as  if  in  Canada, 
when  a  man  is  appointed  a  Senator,  or 
a  Federal  Cabinet  Minister,  his  wife 
would  have  tho  righl  to  be  call.d  Hon- 
orable during  her  life.  A  v.-liine8e 
mother  has  almost  absolute  control  over 
her  children  so  far  as  any  right  of  their 
falhor  to  Intorfero  wiih  th.ir  education 
or  discipline  is  concerneil.  They  have 
ovory  civil  right  that  a  man  ha.s.  it  is 
cu.stom  only  that  cau.ses  them  to  live 
lives  of  sGciuslon.  If  a  woman  cliooses 
to  aspire  to  bo  President  or  Prime  Min- 
ister, there  is  no  1-jvv  to  iu-ev,  nt  hei- 
from  aceomi'lisliing  lier  ambition.  His- 
tory mrnishcs  many  Instances  in  whicll 
w(nii<n  in  China  have  ruaChfed  the  very 
pinnacle  of  powor  without  any  heredi- 
tary right  to  it,  or  without  tho  advan- 
tage of  having,  married  Into  prominent

■nggssts  a  rablie  Xgsetlng 

Sir — May  1  venture  a  suggestion?  The 
naval  question  Is  of  vital  interest  to 
Victoria  and  to  British  Columbia.  Mr. 
Barnard  is  bore  during  recess,  and  the 
Naval  Bill  is  before  Parliament.  We 
have  had  Naval  L«mgue  meetings  with 
cut-and-driod  resolutions,  but  with  no 
op'portiinlty,  much  less  invitation,  to 
have  tho  Indopendont  thouKbt  on  this 
quostlon  prosonted.  Let  the  Federal 
member  call  a  public  meeting  to  get  the 
true  voice  of  the  people.  Let  us  hear 
the  political  leaders  reconcile  their 
former  doclarationa  ar.d  their  present 
attitude.  Lot  us  get  all  shades  of  opin- 
ion and  then  put  tho  tiuestioij  to  the 
o\onii>r>f  of  Victoria.  I  suggest  twenty 
minutes  for  eacli  speakor.  If  they  rec- 
ognize tho  fact  that  wo  are  all  equally 
loyal  Brlllshors  and  true  Canadians  of 
the  Empiro,  and  so  cut  adrift  from  flag 
emotionalism  wlilch,  as  designed  to  Im- 
pute a  want  of  patriotism  In  ihe  oppon- 
ent, Is  simply  insulting  and  is  ossen- 
llally  a  I'harlsee  trick,  twenty  minutes 
is  amplo  to  presont  the  facts  and  the 
argumont.  Let  tne  propose  as  speakers, 
Mr.  Barnard,  as  Federal  mombor;  Mr. 
McBrlde,  as  Govornmont  loader  In  B. 
C. ;  Mr.  ^Voollfiy  or  Mr.  Biakomore,  for 
tho  N'avy  League;  Mr.  Brewslor,  for 
tho  Li bnral  party,  and  a  renresontatlve 
of  the  labor  and  wago-earnlng  electo- 
mto,  and  an  e.xtra  half  hour  for  open 
discussion. 

1    am    sure    such    a    mooting,    If    hon-

A   Contplaint 

Sir— I  think,  Sir,  it  is  time  some  at- 
tention wore  callod  to  the  disgraceful 
lack  of  order  maintninod  at  the  gallery 
entrance  of  the  Victoria  Theatre  on 
sliow  nights.  Is  it  no'jessary  for  some 
woman  or  child  to  be  trampled  down, 
or  stiriod,  boforo  the  authorities  wake 
up  to  a  realization  of  thoir  responsi- 
bilities? 

At  the  theatre  entrance  on  Douglas 
Street,  ihoro  Is  a  brave  show  of  i)0llce 
when  tlie  wolt-drnssed  crowd  throngs 
the  entrance,  but  in  t'no  dark  alley  at 
tho  back,  it  is  one  wild  stampede  when 
the  doors  are  opened,  and  the  only  rea- 
.son  thero  has  not  been  ."ome  serious 
accident  in  the  past  is  that  people  who 
were  not  up  to  a  Rugby  scrimmage 
novo;'    usod   the    gallery. 

1  believo  it  is  usuai  for  a  poiiceoittn 
to  arrive  in  tho  gallory  shortly  after 
8:30,  to  koop  order  and,  incidentally,  to 
see  the  show;  but  what  I  would  like  to 
know  Is.  why  can't  bo  come  a  little 
oarllor  ar.d  bo  useful  as  well  a-i 
ornamental? 

'I'lurre  is  a  oolite  fiction  that  a  Vic- 
toria crowd  is  an  orderly  one,  but  the 
crowd  In  the  alle;-  wlien  the  gallery 
doors  ar^  op<ined  is  a  personification  of 
"Hooligonlsm."

It  is  surprising  how  unwilling  or  un- 
able certain  writers  for  tlie  British 
press  are  to  underslaiui  tlu-  action  of 
the  Canadian  jieopie.  We  have  recently 
read  the  statement  that  reciprocity  '  was 
defeated  because  the  Canadian  people 
hoped  for  a  preference  in  tlie  markets  of 
the  United  Kingdom.  Every  Canadian 
knows  that  such  an  argument  was 
never  mentioned  duiin'<  tlie  whole  cam- 
paign, either  in  Parliament  or  at  pub- 
lic meetings.  No  newspaper  ever  ad- 
vanced anyiliing  .so  absurd.  Wliat  use- 
ful purpo.se  does  any  one  expect  to 
serve  by  so  misrepresenting  the  facts? 
A  Bpcviul  OoUimlSalvliri  Brut  uul  by  a 
London  dally  to  write  up  the  Canadian 
viewpoint  on  a  qu-cstlon  In  British  poli- 
tics, frankly  admitted  to  The  Colonist 
that  he  did  not  intend  to  tell  the  truth, 
for    he    said    "that    would    never    do." 


If  you  wish  to  soo  a  collection  of  fine 
specimens  of  humanity,  tako  a  ride  in  a 
Victoria  tram-car  In  which  there  are  a 
lot  of  sklllod  mechanics  returning  from

going  to  work,  but  the  most  of  you  arc 
not  out  of  bod  then.  You  will  sco  vlg-

thought  and  abundance  of  courage.  If 
you  do  not  know  that  this  Is  so,  and  if 
you  do  not  realize  what  it  Jigniflas,  you

Flcaauvs  liasorts. 
Sir — In  view  of  tho  fact  that  a  prop- 
erty on  the  West  Coast  of  Vancouver 
Island  which  we,  as  a  firm,  are  offer- 
ing to  the  iiuhlic  as  a  pleasure  resort, 
has  been  attacked  editorially  in  a  local 
M-eokly;  and,  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
wo  are  accused  of  having  permitted  our- 
selves to  bo  imposed  ujKin  by  an  un- 
scrupulous promoter,  wti  respectfully 
ask  you  to  allow  us  .space  in  your  valu- 
ablo    columns    in    wiilch    to    reply. 

In  offering  Ilia  property  in  question  as 
a  ploasuro  resort  we  are  acting  In  per- 
fect good  faith,  with  our  eyes  wide  open 
nml  after  careful  invostlgalion.  Every 
stalamant  we  aro  making  In  our  adver- 
lisonionts  is  backed  by  our  reputation 
and  standing  as  a  firm.  Nothing  has 
been  stated  that  is  impossible.  Not  only 
can  this  property  bo  developed  as  we 
stato;  11  will  be — and  within  three 
x-oars. 

The  fact  Is.  sir.  over  since  we  first 
announced  the  rather  Important  and  ex- 
tenslvo  plans  regarding  this  resort  we 
have  met  with  bittor  criticism  from 
tliat  SO" Hon  of  Victoria  which  was 
chleny  responsible  for  the  capital  city's 
long  period  of  letlinrgy;  we  have  been 
told  that  the  work  we  propose»d  to  do 
was  impossible,  that  we  were  dreamers, 
etc.  Howc\er,  wo  put  this  down  to  the 
usual,  although  unfortunate,  spirit  of 
"knocking"  that  is  too  prevalent  In  ,  -c- 
torla  even  today,  and  we  passed  It  by. 
Now,  In  view  of  tho  fact  that  direct 
charge."!  have  been  made  In  a  n»w»p»p*>r, 
charges  which  are  utterly  untrue  and 
harmful,  we  shall,  of  course,  take  the 
proper    sto;Ts    to    protect    ourselves. 

Wo  have,  In  the  past,  b&d  opportunity 
and  to  spare  to  engage  In  "wildcat" 
I  propositions,  and  It  is  not  our  Intention 
to  engage  In  them  now  any  moro  than 
formerly.  When  this  proposition  was 
first  taken  up  with  us  we  went  Into  the 
details  thoroughly.  At  first  we  were 
sceptical  because  at  that  time  our 
knowledge  of  the  West  Coast  of  this 
Island  was  about  as  general  and  Incom- 
plete as  that  of  the  author  of  the  attack 
on  us  and  this  property.  Two  mem- 
bers of  the  firm  visited  the  property  and 
lookod  It  ovor  thoroughly  besides  hear- 
ing the  roport.«i  of  the  head  surveyor, 
Mr.  A,  I,  Robertson.  Not  only  were  we 
convinced  of  the  thorough  feasibility  of 
the  plan  of  mr^klng  a  great  Canadian 
resort  on  this  property;  we  wero  highly 
enthusiastic  over  it  Afterwards,  on 
various  occasions,  numerous  pottles 
wore  taken  to  see  the  property  and  no'* 
one  of  them  failed  to  be  Impressed  with 
tho  opportunity  and  delighted  with  the 
natural   charms    of    the   place. 

The  article  directed  against  th*  re- 
sort property  made  use  of  flgures  pur- 
porting to  be  the  olflctal  statistics  of 
precipitation  on  the  W«f<t  Goest  near 
this  property.  Tn  reply,  permit  us  to 
give  here  the  official  flgures  as  wrlften 
for  tis  by  Mr.  K.  Baynes  Held,  for  nuny 
years  supertntendont  of  the  Mateorotog- 
loal  Buraau,  Victoria,  B.  C  and  one  of 
the  most  oxperlenced  meteorolO((Jsta  in

abnormal  year  for, rain ^and  ao  the,  figure 
for  this  season  Is  really  too  high  for 
the  average  rainfall  here — likewise  the 
Fall    rains    very   early." 

Continuing,  sir,  we  bog  leave  to  state 
hore  that  we  are  not  comparing  the  cli- 
mate of  this  resort  property  with  that 
of  Victoria  which  Is,  admittedly,  the  fln- 
t»t  climate  In  Canada.  In  the  first  place 
there  is  no  beach  near  Victoria  that  is 
available  as  a  pleasure  resort  suclr  as 
this  we  have  in  hand.  We  stand'  on  the 
sUtement  that  the  climate  on  the  VVest 
Coast  of  the  Island  where  our  property 
Is  situated  Is  exccdient  for  summer  re- 
sort purposes.  We  assert  that  the  tem- 
perature Is  most  desirable  and  that  the 
rainfall  Is  certainly  not  excessive  and 
not  such  as  to  Interfere  with  summer 
liloasures.  On  this,  point  we  refer  you 
to  the  statement  of  Mr.  David  Logan 
for  eighteen  yoars  a  rosldeijH  of  Clo-oose 
and  thoroughly  familiar  with  our  prop- 
erty. He  states  that  "in  Summer  the 
sands  on  the  beach  often  become  loo  hot 
to  be  walked  on  barefooted."  We  might 
go  on  bringing  a  variety  of  proofs  but 
we  are  trespassing  loo  much  now  upon 
your  space. 

The  attack  made  upon  our  property, 
while  it  is  important  to  us,  also  con- 
corns  Victorians  as  a  whole  because  It 
is  an  unwarranted  atid  untruthful  at- 
tack uiion  the  whole  West  Coast  of  our 
Island.  If  what  the  writer  of  the  arti- 
cle referred  to  says  Is  tnio,  of  what  use 
Is  It  to  hope  for  any  lasting  development 
of  tho  West  Coast  of  Vancouver  Island? 
What  miiKi  Ije  the  effect'  of  such  iiiln- 
Icading  articles  on  prospoctive  settlers? 
As  to  the  "nine  miles  of  beach"  re- 
ferred to  in  our  advertisements  we  rc- 
iterato  that  this  is  true  and  that  it  is 
just  as  accosslble  as  tho  beach  of  any 
American-  jsunmier  jrcaort. 
rnont  that  "the  sea-front  consists  almost 
entirely  of  high  cliffs"  Is  absolutely 
and  wholly  untrue.  Golf  links  will  be 
laid  out  on  the  property  on  a  natural 
piece  of  ground  that  especially  lends  It- 
f.dlf  to  such  a  course.  Every  lot  sold 
in  tills  resort  is  positively  guaranteed 
to   be  a   good   building  lot. 

As  to  tho  statement  that  this  prop- 
ert.v  "cannot  be  surveyed,"  wo  brand 
that  as  merclj-  childish  on  the  face  of  It. 
'A  force  of  fifteen  survteyors  is  at  work 
on  the  property  now  carrying  out  the 
prolimlnary  surveys  and  this  force  will 
be  augmented  from  time  to  time  as  the 
work    proceeds. 

The  opinion  of  one  purchaser  of  lots 
In  this  property  may  bo  given  here  Mr. 
E.  L.  T.  Taylor,  of  Calgary,  late  of  Lon- 
don, Eng.,  wont  to  see  the  propertj-  in 
the  month  of  Dece-nber  as  he  was  not 
wiiOiiy  cunviiicod.  He  wuk  uccoiiipttiilcd 
by  a  Mr.  Lake,  also  of  Calgary.  Before 
going  Mr.  Taylor  had  applied  for  one 
lot.  He  returned  delighted  with  the 
property  and  since  that  flme  he  and 
Mr.  Lake  applied  for  a  total  of  ten' lots 
in  tho  property  and  two  blocks  of  acre- 
age  adjacent. 

In  conclusion  we  may  state  that 
everything  connected  with  this  resort 
property  is  fair  and  square  and  above- 
board.  We  realize  that  it  is  a  big  un- 
dertaking but  wo  are  more  than  san- 
guine of  Its  success.  The  capital  be- 
hind this  project  is  ample  for  all  pur- 
poses and  we  state  again  that  positively 
ovory  improvement  promised  in  connec- 
tion with  this  resort  will  be  carried  out. 
The  statement  that  we  are  arranging  to 
place  this  on  tho  London  market  is  un- 
true because  we  have  never  considered 
such  a  step  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
we  expect  to  sell  every  lot  we  wish  to 
part  with  right  in  Canada.  VV'e  have 
not  offered  this  property  extensively  as 
yet,  but,  despite  that  fact,  more  thah 
$30,000  worth  of  it  has  been  applied  for 
alread.v  and  wo  have  received  many  in- 
quiries from  applicants  as  to  when  they 
may  begin  building. 

What  this  resort  will  mean  to  Van- 
couver Island  may  be  surmised  In  view 
of  tho  fact  that  it  will  assuredly  at- 
tract .many  people  who  would  not  likely 
come  otherwise;  It  will  be  a  support  to 
Victoria  in  that  it  will  provide  another 
link  in  the  splendid  chain  of  Island

from  Portsmoutli  that  General  Sir  How- 
ard Sutton  Jones.  K.  C.  B.,  pas»ed  away 
on  Sunday  night  at  Alverstoke.  Sir 
Howard  was  77.  years  of  age,  and  had  a 
record  of  nearly  forty  years  service. 
Entering  the  Royal  Siarlne  Light  In- 
fantry In  1858.  on  the  eve  Of  the 
Crimean  War,  his  first  active  employ- 
ment was  In  th-e  Baltic  Kxpedltion,  un- 
der Sir  Charles  NajJier,  In  18B6,  for 
which  he  received  the  medal.  From 
1867  to  18<1  Sir  Howard;  was  en-gaged 
on  special  service  In  determining  the 
boundary  between  the  United  States  and 
Jritish  North  America.  During  that 
period  he  commanded  a  force  of  Boyal 
Marines,  whjch  w^as  employed  In  quell- 
ing .rlot«  and  restoring  order  among  the 
gold  miners  at  Ports  Hope  and  Yale, 
on  the  Fraser  RlTOr,  In  British  Colum- 
bia. For  this  aerriee  he  was  thanked 
by  tbe  Oovemor  and  tbe  Colonial  Oov- 
emme^t.

tani  Oi-pliHna::o  yesterrlay  afternoon  to 
rrcelve  tlieir  t-ifts  from  the  Chrl.«itmn3 
Trr.?  anil  to  sIhk  and  recitP  for  their 
good  friends,  the  ladles  of  the  commtt- 
tee.  the  president.  Mr.  Charles  Hay- 
ward,  riev.  \y.  1^.  I'hiy  and  a  room  full 
of  visitors.  All  the  children,  from  the 
dozen  or  more  babies  of  two  or  three 
C'hristmases.  seated  on  the  lowest  steps, 
10  the  \ng  Klrls  and  hoys  in  the  highest 
Heats,  were  u?  good  as  gold,  and  rosy 
cheeks  and  shining  eye.>ii  told  of  happy 
expectation.  Xo  wonder  they  were  de- 
liglited.  Surely  never  before  was  there 
auch  a  heauilful  Christmas  Tree  or 
such   a  store   of  presents. 

Mr.  Charles  Hayward,  looking  a.<^ 
hiipny  as  the  children,  presided,  as  he 
has  done,  at  such  galherinss,  for  nearly 
thiriy  years.  Mr.  Pollard,  the  instructor 
of  sinslnK  in  the  public  schools,  had 
trained  the  pupils,  and  his  labor  of  love 
was  appreciated  by  them,  for  their 
.singing  was  excellent.  The  recitations 
:(nr1    rllfilnpriioF     too,    wpre   iinnsunlly   w»-i'. 


Mrs.  T'embtrton  Ka.ve  to  each  of  the 
children  a  Coronation  medal.  These 
had  been  delayed  on  the  way,  that  lady 
said,  but  she  hoped  they  would  still 
serve  as  a  reminder  of  the  duty  each 
boy  or  girl  owed  His  Majesty,  Klnij 
George 

Rev.  W.  L.  Clay,  at  the  reiiue.sl  of 
Mr.  Hayward,  made  a  very  short  speech 
full  of  good  wishes  and  fatherly  advice. 
The  president,  In  the  name  of  the 
children  and  of  the  committee,  thanked 
Miss  Raper  and  a  little  hand  of  work- 
ers from  Oak  Bay  for  the  lielp  they  had 
extended  to  the  Orphanajje.  It  was 
Iiarncd  afterwards  that  Miss  ttaper  wa.« 
leader  of  a  sewing  clas.s  Ihnt  met  nn 
Saturday  mornlnprs  and  who  by  dispos- 
ing of  their  needlework  had  been  able 
to  treat  the  little  one;  on  more  than 
one  occasion. 

Prize*  Dlatrlbated 
Sim.  Kaye,  the  matron,  decided  that 
the  prizes  to  be  given  to  the  best  chil- 
dren were  due  to  Cecil  Morgan,  Betty 
Martin  ami  Patricia  Hamilton  Smith. 
Mrs.  McTavish,  president  of  the  ladles' 
committee,  then  havlns  said  she  and 
her  fellow  workers  valued  very  highly 
the  .services  of  -Mrs.  Kaye,  Miss  MorsH 
and  Miss  Chalmer.s,  Mr.  T^ayward  be- 
stowed uix)n  each  a  special  mark  of  ap- 
preciation which  was  evidently  a  com- 
jiUMe    surprise. 

i;,n  h    of    the    flfty-nlne    children    then 
rt'ccived    a   gift  of   imif   h   dollar  for   his 
or  her  very  own  from   the  h.and?  of  Mr. 
Ilayward,    acting   for   I.eeming   Brothers. 
This,    the  older  children  appreciated,   but 
the    little    folks    were      more      delighted 
with     the    presents    from    the    tree.      In- 
deed,   there  were   two  of   these.     For   no 
sooner    was    the    big    tree    stripped    than 
Mr.   I^eonard  Tait  came  forward,   on  'be- 
half   of    the    Ladles    Benevolent    Orange 
Association,     and     from    a    smaller     tree 
took    useful      presents     of     many      sorts 
which    the   Rood    ladies   had    provided    for 
small    people    who    In      the    New       Year 
would  wear  out  stockings,  soli  hntr  rib- 
bons  and   lose   handkerchiefs.     The   chil- 
dren   were    then    allowed    to   go   to    their 
playroom   while  the  guests  were  Invited 
to    tea.      Two    or    three    of    these,    how- 
ever,   fo'.low'ed    the    boys    and    girls    and 
the   prettiest  sight   of  the  day  was   their 
admiration    of    their    treasures.      It    was 
easy  to  .«ee  those  had  been  .S'Clected  with 
care    an<l     were    specially    intended       for 
those   who   received    them,    for   from    the 
lad    with    a   Boys'    Own      to      the      little 
maiden    w'ho    clasped      a      golden-haired 
doll,    each    had    Just      the      thing      most 
coveted. 

The  ladies  of  the  committee  were 
warm  in  ilioir  praises  of  the  generosity 
of  friends  and  eagerly  told  of  the  splen- 
did Christmaa  dinner  that  ha<l  been  pro- 
vided for  ail  the  children  by  Mr,  and 
Mrs.  W.  I-.  Morris  and  Master  Roydon 
MorrLs,  of  the  dollar  wliich  was  the 
Christmas  sift  of  Mrs.  W.  C.  Todd  to 
each  child,  and  of  the  huge  Christmas 
stocking,  the  gift  of  the  City  Travelers' 
Association,  reserved  for  New  Year's 
Day.  They  said  not  a  word  of  their 
own  hard  work  and  the  thought  and 
time  they,  wlio  take  the  place  of 
mothers,  to  these  motherless  children, 
give  not  on  one  day  only,  but  through- 
out the  year.  They,  like  other  mothers, 
were  glad  and  happy  in  the  Joy  of  the 
children,  though  acime  of  them  have 
spent  many  yoars  In  this  service.

Sunday  Morning,  December  29,  1912. 


The  provisional  pro- 
,^rairinic  drawn  up  for  Car- 
ni\al  Week  presages  a 
plethora  of  good  things,  and 
we  venture  to  predict  that 
the  many  attractions  pro- 
vided Avill  fill  to  overflowinL^- 
the  available  accommoda- 
tion for  visitors. 

We  feel  confident  that 
many  who  will  thus  view 
the  "City  Beautiful,"  for 
thf  first  time,  will  decide  to 
take  up  residence  here,  and 
indeed    they    UlliiMlt    their 


disposal  so  lari^e  a  choice 
i)f  charming  houses  and  el- 
igible homesites  in  desirable 
districts  that  the  problem 
of  "wdiere  to  live"  will  pre- 
sent none  of  the  difficulties 
which  are  a  feature  of  so 
many  other  cities. 

.A.  visitor  to  the  city,  or 
a  local  investor,  will  upon 
inspection,  be  at  once  con- 
vinced of  the  favorable

The  members  wore  then  Kreeted  by 
the  Premier,  Sir  lllehard  McBrlde,  who 
assured  them  of  th*  keen  interest  which 
the  Government  took  In  tlie  very  ijnpor- 
tant  subjects  whle.h  they  had  to  Inves- 
tigate, and  expressed  hUs  .sincere  appre- 
ciation of  their  p\iblit;  spirit  in  accept- 
ing the  onerous  task  which  the  Govern- 
ment   had    tendered    to    them. 

At  the  close  of  an  executive  ses.sion.

Otliar  Folati  Ijater  On 
After  the  nevelatoke  meetins  the

resumed  at  points  to  be  later  decided

There  will  he  other  sittings  In  Vic- 
toria, Vancouver  and  Xew  Westmin-ster 
than  tlioee  on  the  dates  named  above,

preparatory  character  In  order  to  allow 
the  representatives  of  labor  and  capital 
to  present  i»ubject.s  wlilcii  they  wish  to 
be  discussed  and  to  arrange  for  dates 
when  It  will  be  convenient  for  the  var-

Fire,  the  origin  of  wiilrli  is  a  m.vstery. 
completely      destroyed      the      two-storey 
dwelling    owned    by    Mr,      J.      Chisholm. 
Carlin    Street,    last    night    at    9    o'clock, 
severely    ilamaged    an    adjoining      small 
dwelling   and   occasioned   a    total    loss   of 
1 1,500.      When    the    fire    department    ar- 
rived   at    llie    scene    of      the    blaze      Hie 
larger   dwelling   was   a    mass    of    flames 
which    were    btirsting    through    wind-jw.s 
and  roof,  and  the  reflection   from   v.lilch 
liglited    up    the    whole      northern      sky, 
leading  people  downtown  to  believe  that 
a  serious  conflagration  was  In  proffr^fa. 
The    fact    that    the   fire    was    first   no- 
ticed  by   a   resiaent   on   Gosworlh   Road, 
neerly    half   a    mile   distant      from      the 
blazing  dwelling,   who  sent    in   an  alarm 
from    Box    B6,    near    the   corner   of   Oos- 
worth    Road    and    Hillside    Avenue,      de- 
layed the  nre  brigade  greatly  in  getting 
to    the    scene.      Carlin    Street    l«    located 
northeast    of    Smith's       Hill       reservoir, 
and  in  reaponding  to  the  alarm   the  de- 
partment  Were  unable   to  see  exactly  in 
what  direction   the  blaae     was     located. 
The    apparatus    naturally    made    for   th« 
box   from    which    the  alarm    was   turned 
In  only  to  find  after  arriving  there,  that 
It   was   necessary   to   turn     back     along 
Hillside     Avenue     and     work     Its     way 
around     Smith's  Hill     to     the     apot,     A 
dear     run     along     Quadra    Street    and 
thence  easterly  along  Flnlayson,  both  of 
which  thorSufirh fares  are  paved,  was  open 
to  the  apparatus  but  the  drivers  natur- 
ally   made   speed      to      the     spot     from 
whence   the  alarm  was  turned  in. 
■arad  saaU  BwaUlat 
It    was    seen    that   nothing    could      be 
done    to    sava    the   larger    dwelling   and 
attention    was    turned  -  to      the     small 
atructure  alongside.     Thla     was     badly 
scorched    but    was    savid    after     about 
1300  damage  was  done  to  It.     The  other 
dwelling   was   completely   destroyed,     It 
had  just  been  eoni(>lated  and  la  not  be- 
lievad  to  have  been  occupied.     No  traca

The  latest  designs  of  the  genuine  John  Brinsmead 
&  vSon.s,  London  world-famous  Pianos  may  now  be 
seen  and  purchased  in  Victoria.  -\  consignment  of 
these  instruments  was  received  by  us  recently,  and  of 
this  number  many  have  already  been  selected  and 
purchased  by  some  of  the  leading  musical  people  of 
X'ictoria. 

The  Brinsmead  Piano  has  long  been  recognized 
throughout  the  world  for  its  general  excellence,  and 
its  introduction  in  Victoria  has  created  a  pleasant  ex- 
citement among  tho.se  who  had  learned  of  its  arrival 
here. 

Since  the  forties  John  Brinsmead  has  been  widely 
known  as  the  "Father  of  the  Pianoforte  Trade"— an 
appellation  earned  by  his  genius  and  strenuous  labors,* 
willingly  accorded  him  as  a  rightful  due  by  all  who 
knew  his  work,  and  to  the  end  of  his  days  worthily 
maintained  as  a  proud  honor. 

With  scarce  an  exception,  all  the  distinguishing 
features  of  the  modern  Piano — an  instrument  as  near 
perfection  as  may  be  achieved  by  mortals — are  those 
which  his  '  intuitive  genius  conceived,  his  mind 
evolved  into  the  practical,  and  his  knowledge  and  su- 
preme craftsmanship  produced  and  perfected  in  thC' 
concrete.  The  innumerable  inventions,  patents  and 
improvements  with  which  his  name  is  forever  asso- 
ciated, have  revolutionized  all  systems  of  piano- 
building.  .        ' 

So  it  is  that  today  the  name  of  John  Brinsmead  & 
Sons  on  a  Piano  is  the  accepted  synonym  throughout 
the  world  for  all  round  excellence,  for  beauty  and  per- 
fection of  pianoforte  technique,  for  durability  in  con- 
struction that  shall  withstand  the  ravages  of  time  and 
temperature,  for  strength  and  finish  in  craftsmanship.

MATTERS  OF  MOMENT 
IN  WOMEN'S  REALM 


Vka   W—iem   OwitMiary 

On  the  other  aide  of  the  line  plana  are 
belnsr  made  for  the  telebr^tlon  01  the 
hundred  years  of  peace  between  Great 
Britain.  Canada  and  the  United  State*. 
The  Ensl'sh  papers  are  In  hearty  ac- 
cord with  the  Idea.  Earl  Grey,  our 
former  Oovernor-Cfreneral,  is  chairman 
of  the  BritUh  Committee,  and  Is  likely 
to  come  to  New  York  In  April  for  a 
joint  meeting  of  the  (committees.  On 
Chrlutmas  lOve,  1914,  the  anniversary  of 
the  slBnlng  of  tlie  treaty  will  be  held 
In  Cihom.  Canadians,  and  especially 
Canadian  women,  are  greatly  Interested 
In  this  peace  celebration.  AVe  cannot 
even  Imagine  how  many  and  how  great 
blesBlngs  this  long  peace  has  brouglit 
to  our  country  for  wc  know  nothing  of 
the  horroPM  of  war.  if  .\merlcan  wo- 
men, many  of  whom  have  lost  husbanclfi, 
brothers  and  soi\m  in  the  Civil  War,  arc 
eager  to  do  their  part  I0  make  the  cele- 
bration a  surcegs,  wc  In  Canada  should 
be  ready   to  do  our  part. 


An   Adverse    Opinion 

-Muph  lias  been  said  In  pralso  of  the 
Montcssori  -system  of  education  lijveiited 
by  an  llulijin  lafl\-.  The  wonderful  re- 
.sult.s  she  has  attained  have  arou.scd  the 
wonrlor  and  i>rovoked  the  liiiitatlon  of 
teachers  In  nil  civilized  countries.  In 
The  I>on(ion  Times,  Miss  Charlotte  .M. 
.Mason  has  an  able  letter,  warning  her 
countrymen  and  women  to  pause  be- 
fore they  adopt     u     system     which     Is 

the  method  of  doveloplnK  Iho  .sense."? 
wliich  is  that  ndnpted  by  .Madame 
Montcsorl  is  not  orw  likely  to  develop 
a  hif,'!i  type  of  man  or  woman.  AVhat 
MIks  .MuKon  says  has  a  very  wide  ap- 
plication and  sliould  be  seriously  con- 
sidered In  an  age  when  a  i)a.sFlon  for  re- 
sults blinds  educators  to  other  and 
wider  Lssucs.  The  letter  is  u  long  and 
somewhat  technical  one,  but  the  fol- 
Iiiwing  extracts  will  give  .<?omc  Idea  of 
Us  tenor  :inil  of  the  conclusUms  arrived 
at. 

■•What  wc  .lie  saying,  is,  piactically, 
lievnlop  his  scn.'^^es,  and  a  child  is  edu- 
cated; train  hand  and  eye,  and  li,.'  cun 
earn  his  IIvIiik;  what  more  do  you 
want?'  A  child  so  trained  l.s  not  on  a 
level  with  the  Red  IndiaJi  of  our  child- 
hood: bis  senses  are  b.v  no  means  so 
aiiite.  and  the  lieii  Indian  grew  up  witli 
sons  and  dance,  tale  and  legend,  anrl 
early  developed  ;i  i)lillosoph.v.  oven  a  re- 
ligion. 

"The  Montessori  child  has  no  .such 
chances;  he  sharpens  a  single  sense,  to 
be  sure,  at  the  expense  of  another  and 
higher  sense,  liut  there  is  no  gradual 
painting  in  of  a  background  to  his  life; 
110  fairies  ploy  nibout  him,  no  heroes 
stir  bis  80ul;  tlod  and  good  angels  form 
no  part  of  his  thought;  tiie  child  and 
the  person  lie  will  bctronie  are  a  scien- 
tific product,  the  result  of  much  toiich- 
Int,'  and  some  seeing  and  hearing;  for 
what  has  science  to  do  with  these  in- 
tangitile.  hardly  Imaginable  entllles 
lallcd  Ideas?  No,  let  lilni  take  hold  of 
life,  match  form  with  form,  color  willi 
color:  but  song  and  picture,  hymn  aiiil 
story  arc  for  the  odneational  scraphoap. 
"Wo  are  all  very  gratoful  to  the 
gracious  Italian  lady  who  has  showti 
that  courtesy  and  consideration  reveal 
the  dignity  and  grace  that  belong  to 
all  children,  that  the  rights  of  children 
Include  the  right  of  freedom  In  self- 
education,  and  that  every  human  being 
is  precious  and  worthy  of  honor, 
especially  while  he  is  a  child.  But  I 
am  Inclined  to  think  that  ijll  our  In- 
debtedness falls  under  these  three 
heads,  and  that  tl)e  elaborate  and  costly 
apparatus,  the  use  of  touch  rather  than 
sight  and  exclusive  sensory  development 
are    mischievous    errors. 

"A  groat  danger  threatens  the 
country  and  tlie  world.  We  are  losing 
faith  In  ideas,  and  substituting  prac- 
tices for  principles.  As  I  have  in 
former  letters  to  The  Times,  the  note  of 
popular  education  today  Is  contempt  for 
knowledge  and  for  'IwDoks  In  whlcli 
the  knowledge  of  mankind  is  lodged. 
'F^ducation  by  things'  Is  boldly  advo- 
cated, regardless  of  the  principle  thttt 
things  lead  only  to  more  and  more 
various  things  and  ore  without  effect 
on  tho  thoughts  and  therefore  on  the 
character  and  conduct  of  a  man,  save 
as  regards  the  production  or  the  exam- 
ination of  similar  things.  A  boy  may 
turn  out  accurate  and  workmanlike 
models  in  cardboard  or  carpentry;  if  he 
Is  a  neat  and  careful. boy  to  begin  wltli, 
these  (lualities  help  him  In  his  work; 
but  if  lie  has  learned  against  the  grain 
to  turn  out  good  work,  the  acquirer 
characters  will  influence  only  the  par- 
ticular work  In  question.  Handicrafts 
add  to  the  Joy  of  living,  but  they  are 
not  educative  In  the  sense  that  they 
Influence  character.  Therefore  a  child 
should  not  do  handiwark  (like  tlie 
ordering  of  cubes  and  cylinders  In 
sizes,  or  tablets  In  colors,  for  example) 
that  la  not  either  beautiful  or  of  use. 
Because  a  child  Is  a  person,  bocause 
his  education  should  make  him  more 
of  a  person,  because  he  increases  upon 
such  ideas  as  are  to  be  fourd  in  books, 
pictures  and  tho  like,  because  the  more 
of  a  person  he  Is  the  better  work  will 
he  turji  out  of  whatever  kind,  because 
there  Is  a  general  dearth  of  persons  of 
fine  character  and  sound  Judgment 
tor  these  and  other  reasons  I  should 
regard  the  spread  of.  schools  conducted 
on  any  method  whl^h  condemns  knowl- 
edge In  favor  of  appliances  and  em- 
ployments as  a  calamity,  no  matter 
•low  prettily  the  children  may  foe^^the 
present  behave.  Knowledge  Is  the  soTe 
lever  by  which  character  In  elevate<I, 
the  sole  diet  upon  which  mind  Is  sus- 
tained,"

DIVORCE  BASEBALL 

FROM  ALL  BUSINESS 

Chtlsty  Mathewson  is  having  a  hor- 
rible time  trying  to  divorce  baseball 
from  ^business.  The  fact  that  he  Is 
ChristJ^'j!"  Mathewson  gives  him  eiitree 
into  a  number  of  exclusive  offices  in 
New  Yorii  vmder  the  guise  of  an  insur- 
ance BoUcltor._  but  after  onco  getting 
his  would-be  victim  face  to  face,  Math- 
ewson has  a  battle  of  words  to  Keep  the 
conversation  along  insurance  Unea 
rather   than   on   the  national   pastime. 

The  entrance  of  Christy  Is  always  cor- 
dially received,  but  after  he  has  settled 
down  in  a  chair  to  talk  business,  the 
sledding  gets  harder  as  the  minutes  fly 
s^vlftly  by.  This  is  about  the  way  it 
goes: 

Business  Man — Come  right  In,  Mr. 
Mathewson.  I'm  awfully  glad  to  meet 
you.  My!  X  guess  I've  seen  you  pitch 
a    tliousand   games. 

Mathew.son — I    am      representing      the 

— ■   Insurance    Company,    and    would 

like  to  show  you  sonne  of  the  new 
policies    which    we

which  won  the  Peoples'  Shield,  emblem-

last  year.  Two  promlBlng  late  arrivals 
are  Bruce,  late  of  the  Bcottlah  Junior 
Internationale,  and  McOredie,  a  cousin 
of  the  famoua  A.  McCredle,  of  the  Olag- 
gow  Rangera.  Great  things  are  expect- 
ed of  these  uew  men. 

Whiu  no  definite  selection  ot  a  team 
to  rapresent  th«  Caplul  has  been  made 
as  yet,  the  final  choice  will  be  made 
from  among  the  appended  names.  The 
selection  committee  will  largely  baae 
Us  conclusion  ^on  the  results  of  the 
practice  which  la  lu  l»e  held  this  mom<

Mr.  J.  G.  Brown  has  been  appointed

was  certainty 
the  real  >40,00»  muff  that  Snodgrass 
made,  -wasn't  It?  I  bet  you  could  have 
killed 

Mathewson — Now  our  old  20-payment 
life  policy  has  been  changed  to  one  like 

this,    and 

;  Business  Man — I  believe  that  the 
O-iants  arc  a  better  team  than  the  Red 
Sox  erver  dared  to  be.  Sure,  I  lost  a 
bunch  of  dough  on  that  last  game,  but 
what    made   me  sore    waa 

MatheVson — This  policy  Is  one  of  the 
nnost   liberal   offered   by  any   company. 

Bustness  Man — Er-yes,  but  as  I  was 
saying.  I  believe  that  McOraw  will  grab 
the  gonfalon  again  In  1913,  and  if  you 
don't    beat    that    bean-eating    layout 

Mathewson — If  you  are  not  Interested 
In  a  liife  policy,  we  are  ready  to  Insure 
you  for  or  against  anything  but  future 
salvation  and   matrimonial   bliss. 

Business  Man — Well,  I'm  awfully  glad 
to  have  met  you,  old  man.  Look  me  up 
again  and  we'll  talk  over  that  policy 
when   I   have   more   time.     Good-day. 

"That's  what  I  am  up  against,"  de- 
clares Mathewson.  "The  average  busi- 
ness man  falls  to  dKferentlate  betWeen 
Mathewson,  the  baseball  pitcher,  and 
Mathe#edn,    the' Insurance   agent."

HAS  CHANCE  TO  WIN 

WESTCHESTER  POLO  CUP 


lAXVDOX,  Dec.  23, — The  London  Dally 
Telegraph  in  dlscutislng  England's 
prospects  of  refraining  the  Westchester 
T'olo    Cup    In    June,    1913,    says; 

"Tlie  Duke  of  \A'e3tmlnster  got  to- 
guther  the  best  atud  of  ponies  in  Eng- 
land before  he  arranged  to  send  a  beam 
to  -America.  It  has  been  enormously 
strengthened,  with  the  result  Ihat  Eng- 
land will  be  represented  by  .the  grandest 
collection  of  high  clas.n  ponies  ever  got 
Tos-cther   in  ;  thl«-  rmtrrtry: "'■": 

'•probably  f'jr  the  first  time  Ameri- 
cans have  found  that  the  weight  of  dol- 
lars has  not  availed  them  In  their  ef- 
forts to  secure  their  pick  of  the  British 
pony   market. 

"It  is  true  that  a  num'ber  of  ponies 
weiH;  bought  at  high  prices  for  the. 
United  .States,  but  in  tiro  majority  of 
cases  they  were  not  sold  until  the  Tiuke 
of  Westminster  had  been  given  the  re- 
fu.sal   of   them. 

"On  tb.e  authority  of  .Major  Edgarton 
Green,  maxiager  of  the  Hurllnghaiu 
Club,  according  to  the  present  arrange- 
ment; the  following  six  players  will  pa 
to  America  to  play   for  the  cup: 

"Captain  George  Belleville.  W.  S. 
Ruckmaster.  Captain  Chettpe.  Captain 
Rltson,  V.  M.  Kreake  and  Lord  Wood- 
house. 

"Tliils  Includes  the  old  Cantaba  team, 
which  was  recognized  as  the  strongest 
team  in  this  country.  The  Duke  of 
Westminster  has  laid  his  plans  so  well 
that  the  odds  are  likely  to  be  in  Eng- 
land's favor   next   June." 


The  Initial  shoot  of  the  Victoria 
Miniature  Rifle  AsBOctation  at  their 
range  on  the  Esquimalt  :Road»ye<aterd,iy 
afternoon  and  evening,  was  very  well 
attended,  and  «ome  excellent  acores  put 
on.  The  important  feature  of  the  o-.cx- 
alon  was  the  shooting  of  the  meinbers 
for  the  ten  highest  scores  out  of  a  pos- 
sible 100,  for  the  first  match  of  the 
Canadian  Rifle  I^eague  miniature  series.

t>«it  Of  ths  cmms  la  tli*  first  half  and 
crossed  ovilrr  leadlns  by't  to  tl«  thanks 
to  a  shot  by  Douglas,  ^he  James  Bays- 
howeyer,  soon  Equalised.  Beach,  the 
right  half,  keeping  well  up  and  taking 
every  opportunity  when  within  shooting 
distance.  This  play«r  shortly  after- 
wards scored  again,  but  Hymera  for  ths 
other  side,  who  had  been  brought  up 
from  back  to  forwards,  rushed  the  goal- 
keeper at  the  other  end  and  the  score 
again  stood  at  3  all. 

Then  came  ths  most  Interesting  period 
of  the  play.  The  Bons  of  England's 
right  wlRg,  K«rley  and  C.  Martin  again 
and  again  brought  the  ball  UP  and 
centred  right  across  goal  and  the  latter 
thoroughly  deserved  the  point  which  he 
added.  Meantime  the  J.  B.  A.  A-  had 
scored  again  at  the  other  end  by  a  shot 
from  Jones,  and  both  sides  were  going 
for  all  they  were  worth  to  obtain  the 
deciding  point.  The  liays  were  penal- 
iaed  for  handling  the  ball  in  front  of 
their  own  goal  but  the  shot,  as  so  often 
happens,  went  straight;  to  the  goal- 
keeper and  no  score  resulted.  Douglas 
on  tho  left  wing  of  the  Sons  of  Eng- 
land team  was  doing  a  lot  of  work  but 
his  oontres  were  not  taken  by  the  In- 
sidea  and  time,  was  cailod  with  the  score 
at  3  all.

VANCOUVER,  B,  C.  Dec.  28.— -The 
British  Columbia  Lacrosse  Association, 
as  the  governing  body  of  prbfesslonal 
lacrosse  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  went  on 
record  today  as  being  In  favor  of  the 
orgaulzatiou  of  a  commission  to  govern 
the  game  throughout  Canada.  Only 
Vancouver  delegates  were  present  at 
the  special  meeting  which  President 
Harry  Cowan  of  the  association  called. 
The  call  for  a  meeting  was  Issued  a 
week  ago  Friday,  and  Secretary  Fred 
Lynch  assured'  the  president  that  the 
Royal  City  delegates  would  be  present, 
but  at  the  scheduled  hour  today  only 
Vancouver  delegates  wore  present  and 
the  association  decided  the  Interests  of 
the  game  would  be  better  served  by 
placing  all  leagues  on  an  equal  basis 
and  in  controlling  series,  leagues,  etc. 
by  an  Independent  tribunal.  Today 
President  Cowan  had  not  received  any 
Intimation  from  New  Westminster  why 
the  champions  were  not  represented  at 
the  conference,  which  had  been  called 
specially  for  the  purpose  of  placing  la- 
crosse on  a  more  up-to-date  basis  and 
prebludlng  any  possibility  of  the  public 
forming  an  opinion  that  the  Coast  As- 
sociation was  antagonistic  towards 
l«agues  which  were  desirous  of  brltiglng 
the  game  up  to  a  high  standard. 

Mir.  Oon  Jones,  president  of  the  Van- 
couver Club,  left  tonight  for  the  Bast 
and  will  meet  oticlals  o«  the  Dominion 
Liu^sss  J^ssoclaflon;  the  major  l«ague 
of  the  East,  and  also  ths  N.  L.  U.,  with 
a  view  to  effecting  the  orgranlzatlon  of 
a  commission  to  govern  the  game 
throughout  the  country.  He  will  sub- 
mit the  pro»ramn»e  sdopted  by  the  B. 
C.  U,A..,  said  wl!(l  ascertain  the  view 
<^t  ths  iBasterii  organisations,  •there  Is 
little  ddnbt  bu^  that  a  commission  will 
be  |ormed  within  the  next  couple  ot 
months. 

Whllo  no  deflnlte  action  was  taken 
rei^ardlng  the  expansion  of  the  B.  C.  L. 
A,  next  season,  It  Is  believed  thai  a 
couple  of  new  dtths  will  be  Included 
In  tho  circuit.  A  VlctoHa  papor  stated 
a' tew  days  ago  that  K<tow  Wsstmlnster 
olSclsls  w«tc«  over  In  ths  CapiUI-  feolinc 
out  Victoria  amateurs  regarding,  their 
attitude  toward*  professional-  licrosso. 
and  It  Is  bellcvfld  that  Vlctort*  will  bo 
a  potent  factor  in  the  titfalrs  of  ths 
league  In  l»U-  Anothpr  i^alnland  club 
is.  also  mentioned  for  the  les^pM.  Bvciry 
thing  seems  to  point  to  a  great  revival 
III  lacrossa 


■V'ttncouver  was  tlie  only  professional 
team  in  the  Province  before  whom  Vic- 
toria si'cuumbed  last  season.  The  sranie 
which  is  to  be  played  on  N^ew  yo'ir's 
Day  at  the  Royal  Athletic  Park  rg  a 
return  m«tch  for  the  one  of  last  year 
which  Vancouver  won  by  the  slim  .s.;ore 
of  1  to  0.  A  record  crowd  of  soccer  lol- 
lowcrs  Is  expected  to  attend  on  Wednes- 
day, and  thea^e  is  no' possible  doubt  that 
they  will  be  given  the  finest  kind  of 
football.  Both  teams  -  have  announced 
their  entire  confidence  In  their  ability 
to   carry    the  day. 

With  two  engagements  in  sight  with- 
in the  next  moon.  Joe  Bayley  Is  not 
exactly  letting  grass  grow  under  his 
feet.  He  Is  now  In  the  capalaln  hands 
of  Al.  Goodwin,  of  the  James  Bay  Ath- 
letic Association,  who  is  said  to  be  able 
to  ahow  his  pupil  one  or  two  new  tricks 
-of  the  game.  In  addition  tOk' the  two 
slated  bouts  there  is  a  possibility  of  a 
third  encounter  to  follow  at  some  not 
distant  date,  should  Joe,  as  is  generally 
expected,  take  6cale«-'e  measure  at  Ed- 
monton, on  January  23.  Pal  Brown  will 
bo  the  new  prlnlcpal  In  the  latter 
event. 

Only  a  few  players  turned  out  for  tho 
Rugby  Union  practice  game  at  Oak  Bay 
Park  yesterday  afternoon,  but  these 
utlll2«d  the  opportunity  to  pet  in  some 
oxcellemt  practice  of  the  open  game  be-

Terminal  City  Rinks  Prove  Too 
Strong  for  Victoria  Visitors 
— Ice  Keen  and  Contests 
Very  Close 


VA.VCOUVER,  B.  C,  Dec.  28. — A  con- 
tingent Of  curlers  from  Victoria  in- 
vaded the  city  today  to  give  battle  to 
the  local  crack.s,  and  although  they 
were  dafoated  in  three  games  out  of 
four,  with  a  total  scoro  of  46-3-t,  tiiey 
gave  a  good  account  of  thoms«l\es,  and 
tlio  largo  crowd  of  spectators  iirosenl 
was  treated  to  some  excelloni  sport  in 
tho    afternoon. 

Prosidout  W.  A.  Macdonald  and  F.  O. 
Crisp,  Of  the  Vancouver  Association 
skipped  rinks  against  Thomas  McCosh 
and  F.  Rilcliia.  The  president  won  out 
by  the  score  of  11  to  5,  but  these  totals 
no  doubt  were  able   to  i  do  not  give  a  fair  Idea  of  tho  evenness 


draw    valuable    conclusions      from       th/j 
play. 

Al  Palzer  spent  nearly  an  hour  on 
Friday  morning  inspecting  hia  "jattle 
grotmd  at  the  Vernon  Arena,  Los  An- 
gelas. McCarty,  his  opponent,  has 
fought  In  the  Arena  on  one  former  oc- 
casion, says  Pa1z«r,  and  he  himself 
wants  to  be  just  as  famllr\r  with  tho 
ring.  Palzer  positively  refuses  to  oc- 
cupy a  corner  which  will  necjssitato 
his  facing  the  sun.  Rather  than  do  this 
he  will  set  on  the  same  side  of  the  ring 
as   McCarty.

of  the"  play.  Macdonald  played  a  great 
game,  and  his  superb  playing  was 
largely  responsible  for  the  victory. 
That  tho  Victoria  skip  has  lost  none  of 
his  cunning  was  frequently  noticed,  and 
he  is  determined  that  the  Island  curlers 
will  have  a  rink  of  their  own  by  next 
Winter. 

Tho  game  between  Crisp  and  Ritchie 
was  par»lcularly  close,  and  was  any- 
body's gamo  until  the  last  rock  had 
boon  sent  down  the  Ice.  Crisp  led  by 
a  small  margin  until  the  eighth  end, 
and  then  Rltchio  scored  four,  putting 
him   three  to  tho  good. 

Crisp  had  a  big  end  In  the  ninth  and 
ovenod  up,  but  Ritchie  came 'right  back 
with  three  more  In  the  tenth,  making 
tl^o  score  13-10.  Crisp  placed  his  rocks 
well  In  tho  eleventh,  and  again  evened 
tho  score,  and  by  great  work  In  the 
twelftii  got  tho  winning  point,  making 
the  final   score   14-13, 

Tho  visitors  were  loud  In  their  praise 
of  the  condition  of  the  Ice,  and  more 
visits  have  been  promised.  Tho  per- 
sonnel  of  tho  rinks   was  as  follows: 

Victoria — W.  S.  Currle,  U.  W.  Hudson, 
J.  J.  Nelson,  Thomas  McCosh  (skip), 5. 

Vancouver — M.  P.  Cotton,  J.  Moe,  J.

Vancouver — Hedloy  Smith,  S.  T.

(skip),    14. 

In  tho  evening  McCosh  and  Ritchie 
were  pitted  againnt.  J.  A.  RussoU  and 
Thomas  ArKlerson  respectively,  and 
Willie  Anderson  Won  ,  his  game  by  a 
wJdo  margin,  tho  colors  of  Vancouver 
wore  lowered  by  McCosh,  who  took  the 
game  by  a  score  of  11-9.  McCosh  start- 
ed out  strong  and  monopolised  the  scor- 
ing until  th*  fourth  end,  when  Russell  j 
sooursd  a  woll-oa'rn«d  single,  following 
this  up  with  another  single  and  two  In 
both  the  sixth  and  sovsnth  onds.  Mc- 
Cosh eamo  back  with  two  In  the  eighth 
and  cinched  tho  gamo  by  taking  tho 
tenth  s.nd  eleventh  onds  also.  Russoll 
made  a  strong  finish,  sooting  four  In 
the  last  end,  ThO' final  sooro  was  ,ll-t 
In   favor  of  MoCosh.

making   thom   ovon   In   that   rospect   wllli 
the    Coronas.      The      Coronas,      however, 
have    to    play    off    tho    gamo    with    Vic- 
toria   West,    postponed    from    yesterday, 
whereas     the    Regiment    has     only     one 
moro  match  to  coinploto  the  series.     The 
A.   O.   F.   did   not  turn  out  at  all  against 
the  W^ards,    who    thus   got    the    game    by 
default.      This    victory    brings    the    total 
of    the    league    leaders    up   to    24    points. 
The  Wests  have  now  two  games  to  play 
off   at    the   conclusion    of   the    scheduled 
series.       Navy-Kequlmalt      won       easily 
from  J.  B.  A.  A.  by  the  score  of  4  to  0| 
The  Bays  did  not  muster  a  full  team, 
rifth    Bsfflmsnt   vs.   T.   M.   O.  A. 
Playing  the  strongest  game  they  have 
put  up  this  season,   the  Fifth  Regiment 
pulled    themselves    still    further    out    of 
the   nether   regions   of   the   Intermediate 
Soccer  League  of  the  city,   by  defeating 
Y.   M.   C.  A.   by   the  heavy  score  of  B   to 
0.      This   victory   gives   the   soldiers  four 
points,    as    It    was    agreed    between    the 
two    teams,    before   starting    the    game, 
that    the    contest    was    to    wipe    out    a 
match      postponed      from      tho      earlier 
stages  of  the  series.    The  Regiment  was 
not    by    any    means    represented    by    Its 
strongest    eleven,    nor    had     tho    Y.    M. 
C.    A.     Its    regular    squad    In    the    field. 
The    latter's   poor    showing    is    attribut- 
able principally   to  absolutely   inefficient 
shooting.  They  had  all  kinds  of  chances 
to  score,   but   nearly  always   failed  even 
to  place   the  ball  in   the  region  of  their 
opponents'   goal. 

In  tho  first  half  the  Regiment  had  to 
face  a  strong  gale  of  wind,  which 
greatly  hindered  thom  in  directing  and 
propelling  tho  ball.  They  commenced 
somewhat  weakly,  but  as  the  game  ad- 
vanced they  picked  up.  T.  M.  C.  A. 
drove  in  several  shots  which  appeared 
to  be  up  to  the  standard,  hut  these  were 
ea.'iily  handled  by  Dutot,  the  Regiment'! 
goalkeeper,  who  played  a  sure  game 
throughout.  It  must  be  admitted  that 
the  Association  men  had  hard  luck  on 
more  than  one  of  these  occasions,  but 
often  good  opportunities'  for  a  tally  were 
simply  thrown  away.  About  fifteen  min- 
utes before  the  close  of  the  period 
Speochley,  the  Regiment's  outside  left, 
taking  a  neat  pass  from  Fieldsend, 
brought  in  the  first  goal  for  his  side. 
The  first  half  ended  with  no  further 
scora. 

'With  the  wind  favoring  them  in  the 
Bflcond  half,  the  Regiment  got  com- 
pletely away.  Their  combination  im- 
proved greatly,  and  In  a  short  while 
Speechley  got  through  with  a  second 
tally.  Y.  M,  C,  A.'  brought  the  ball  up 
again  and  again,  but  as  before  with 
no  useful  effect.  The  third  score  of  the 
Regiment  came  through  the  agency  of 
MacKay,  who  headed  the  ball  In  from 
a  comor  kick.  Fieldsend  was  fospon- 
slblo  for  the  fourth  tally,  and  tljo  fifth 
was  put  through  by  one  of  tho- T.  M. 
C.   A.   bscks.  ' 

Dutot  In  goal  for  the  winners  made 
a  specially  good  showing,  stopplrtg 
every  shot  that  cams  his  way.  Ward, 
tholr  fullback',  was  easily  tho  best  de- 
fence man  on  the  field.  Speechley,  Mc- 
Kay and  FlsMsond  played'  well  on  the 
forward  division,  iynm  tho  V.  M.  C.  A. 
right  back,  was  in  good  form.  Laity 
showed  up  well  on  tho  halfhaek  line.

Inn  qntstlon,  the  Farelgn  Minister  said 
that  Italy  and  Austria,  whoso  mutual 
relations  are  today  mo.st  intimate  and 
cordial,  and  who  are  the  two  powers 
mopt  interested  in  pre.«!ervlnR  the  sltua- 
tl(^n  on  a  forHlni;  of  etjuallty  and  lib-" 
erty  in  the  Adriatic,  hiive  been  able  to 
agrte  on  the  fundamental  outlln'^s  of 
the  solution  of  the  Albanian  problem 
In  conformity  with  the  principle  of  na- 
tionality and  having-  due  consideration 
for  their  own  equal  interests  with  re- 
Kard  t<i  Albania,  that  Albania  bo 
neutralized  with  the  guarantee  of  the 
great  power.s  to  live  as  an  Independ- 
ent state  with  an  opportunity  for  ad- 
vancement and  iJresent  an  open  Held  to 
free  commerce  of  the  world  and  be  at 
the  samp  time  a  factor  of  political 
equilibrium  in  the  Balltan  Peninsula  and 
In    the   Adriatic. 

Thero  was  then  no  reason  to  modify 
the  triple  alliance  and  none  of  the  par- 
lb  s  had  asked  to  have  it  modltled.  It 
was  noi  necessary,  he  said,  to  point 
out  that  the  treaty  was  essentially  pa- 
cific and  defensive,  and  that  its  spirit 
entailed  an  obligation  on  each  power  to 
do  Its  utmost  not  to  involve  the  others 
In  complications  unnecessarily  and  to 
maintain  the  most  cordial  relations  with 
the    other    powers. 

"The  alliance  between  Italy,  Germany 
and  Austria,"  said  the  minister,  "made 
fruitful  by  the  closest  and  most  cordial 
lela lions  between  the  allies,  nust  con- 
tinue to  be  the  ftindHmental  pivot  of 
the    Italian    Forelg^n    Policy." 

Miuquis  Di  San  Qlullano  added  that 
on  tlie  occasion  of  the  appointment  of 
General  Von  Hoef/.endorf  as  elilof  ot* 
tlie  Bcneral  staff  of  the  Austrian  arm* 
Count  Von  Berchthold,  the  Austro-Hun- 
g-arlan  Foreis^n  Minister,  had  given  him 
assurances  that  the  appointment  was  In 
no  way  connected  with  the  Austrian 
Foreign  Policy,

NOTED  GmOE  IS  DEAD 

Mr.  Paul  Smith,  perhaps  the  most 
celebrated  character  of  the  Adriondack 
Mountains,  died  recently  In  the  Royal 
Victoria  Hospital,  after  a  lingering  ill- 
ness. Disease  had  wasted  his  strength, 
and  this,  with  his  afs  of  .ST  years-,  made 
him  too  weak  to  regain  strength  follow- 
ing   an    operation. 

Beginning  more' than  sixty  years  ag- 
as  a  trapper  in  the  AdlronitackB,  Mr. 
Smith  wa«  one  Of  those  who  could  see 
the  future  of  the  mountains.  He  In- 
vested all  he  could  In  lands  and  lake^• 
and  accumulated  a  very  large  fortune. 
He  was  the  head  of  the  Paul  Smith 
Hotel  Company  and  owned  the  town  of 
Paul  Smiths,  on  the  lower  St,  Kegls 
Lake,  which  for  half  a  century  ha«  been 
the  headquarters  of  wealthy  men  who 
annually  go  to  the  Adrlondacks  to  fish 
and   shoot  game. 

Born  in  Ihe  little  town  of  Milton,  Vt., 
In  1825.  Mr.  Smith  celebrated  his  eighty- 
seventh  birthday  on  August  20. 

In  1852  Paul  Smith  flrst  went  to  the 
A'dirondacks.  li^  that  year  he  found 
Ltoon  Lake,  ^(p4-^ii«re  bnilt  a  cabin, 
which  he  callfed  Hunters'  Home,  and 
there  he  established  the  nucleus  of  what 
later  become  the  wealthy  clientele  of  the 
mo<}efn  Paul   Smith's. 

In  18B8  he  and  Dr.  H.  B.  Looml«,  of 
New  York,  were  camping  at  the  low«r 
St.  riegJs  Lake  when  he  sald-^HV^^wtrtild 
like  tn  have  a  hotel  there.  Dr.  Loomjs 
said  he  would  finance  It  and  I^aul  Smith 
spent  the  |300  h«  had  saved  for  land 
and  Dr.  Lootnts  loaned  1 1 3.000  to  him  to 
build  a  hotel  of  sevcnt««n  rooms.  That 
was  the  beglnnln^^f  Paul  Stnitha. 

This  place  attracted  more  wealthy 
men  who  were  seeking  sport,  and  when 
the  cini  war  broke  mit  the  flrat  "big 
mon«y"  came  to  Paul  Smith.  Many  In- 
fluential men  wlvo  bad  sent  autiaHtutea 
to  the  war,  and  others  who  did  not  flaiffc 
to  ffo  to  the  front,  foitnd  tha  Mwltiaion 
ot  Paul  Smiths  dahirabla,  and  througli- 
out  ih«  ina  the  owner' ojr  the  C«Mrt  had

"My  tour  across  Canada  was  taken 
In  the  interest  of  the  Boys'  Brigade',

about  six  cities,  and  held  cont^rences 
with  the  fXeadquarters  Staff  In  Kngland 
on  the  question  of  keeping  record  of 
officers  who  come  to  Canada.  I  foiind 
many  churche.s  desirous  of  .starting 
companies,  but  couUl  not  get  officers. 
I  showed  the  official  set  of  lantern 
uliies,  with  good  results  In  many  citlen. 
The  companies  In  each  locality  are  prac-

Three'Acreage    Bargains 


We  have  offered  and  sold  several  positive  snaps  in 
clients  who  have  purchased  can  testify,  but  none  of  them 
three  .following.     Will  you  call  for  particulars? 


East  Sooke,  180  acres  at  $30 
per  acre.  This  is  about  300 
yards  from  the  main  road. 
A  pack  trail  was  once  built 
through.  This  adjoins  the 
McBride  property  on  the 
north  side  and  is  within 
sight  of  the  C.N.R.  There 
are  over  60  acres  arable 
land   in   the  piece. 


North  Saanich,  60  acres  at  $100  per 
acre.  This  faces  the  West  Road. 
Nearly  all  the  timber  has  been  re- 
moved. There  is  still  a  good  deal  of 
cordwood  on  the  property.  It  lies 
within  one  hall"  mile  of  tlie  Inlet.  Out- 
croppings  of  rock  show  in  two  areas, 
comprising  perhaps  half  of  it,  but  the 
whole  piece  is  covered  with  trees. 
Property  a  mile  north  of  it  sold  at 
$1,000  per  acre;  we  can  sell  this  at 
per    acre    ,. 91<*0 


acreage     recently  as  our 
were  any  better  than  the 


East  Sooke,  200  acres  with 
about  8  acres  cleared  and  a 
good  5-roomed  house.  This 
adjoins  the  property  that  is 
described  en  the  left  of  this 
space.  It  would  make  a 
good  grazing  ranch;  sheep 
run  out  all  winter  in  this 
district.  There  is  said  to 
be  25  acres  of  good  land 
on  the  property.  Price

Will  Call  at  the  Outer  Wliarf 
During  Next  Seven  Days — 
Coast  Service  Arrangements 


British  Bark  Wrecked  Off  the 
Washington  Coast  and  Will 
Be  Total  Loss  ~  Crew  Is 
Taken  Off  by  Life-Savers 


.-\UrORDEKN,  Wash.,  Doc.  28,— The 
four-mastod  British  bark  Torrisa'ale, 
Captain  Collins,  wont  ashore  just  before 
daylight  this  morning  in  a  heavy  gale 
near  Westport  Jetty,  and  will  be  a  total 
loss. 

The  captain  and  crew  of  thirty  men 
wore  taken  oft  by  the  life-saving  crew 
of  the  Westport  station  after  six  houns' 
work,  , 

It  Is  about  an  oigl-in  of  a  mile  out 
from  the  shore  to  the  place  where  the 
hark  lies  with  the  waves  breaking  over 
her. 

The  Torvisdalo's  ballast  shifted  in  a 
storm  two  days  ago.  She  tried  to  make 
Grays  Harbor  and  beat  back  and  forth 
all  day  Thursday,  but  could  not  enter 
on  account  of  the  bar's  roughness.  She 
tried  to  put  out  to  sea  again  but  tho 
.-■■hlft  In  the  ballast  prevented  steering- 
way, 

Last  night  tho  Torrisdale  lay  within 
a  mile  and  a  half  of  the  coast.  Her 
captain  noticed  that  she"  was  drifting  in 
but  was  unable  to  stop  her.  This  con- 
dition lasted  until  shortly  before  four 
o'clock,  when  the  Torrisdale  struck  tho 
Jetty  end.  She  was  badly  crushed  bvit 
cleared  and  continued  drifting.  Fifteen 
minutes  later  she  had  struck  bottom 
and  Reeled  over  on  her  beam  ends.  The 
crew  took  to  the  rigging,  from  which 
they  were  taken  by   the  life  savers. 

The  Torrisdale  left  Caleta  Colosa  on 
November  10.  bound  for  Portland,  where 
she  was  to  have  loaded  wheat  for  the 
United  Kingdom.  She  was  a  steel  four- 
masted  bark,  built  In  1892  at  Glasgow 
and  of  2184  tons.  Her  dimensions  were 
290  feet  In  length,  42  feat  beam  and  24 
feet  deep.  She  is  registered  in  Glas- 
gow.

Christian  States.  Kven  tlM  moderate 
alement  of  the  population  could  not 
tolerate  any  yleldlag  to  the  pervsnu 
kingdoms  who  had  set  iheinselvss  up 
against  the  Sublime  Porte.  Ths  Btu- 
dents  gathered  «n  masso  to  hurl  de- 
fiance at  the  craven  ministers  who  had 
so  low  an  opinion  of  the  national 
spirit.  But  a  cruel  change  was  destined 
In  a  very  abort  period  to  ov«rwhelm 
these  boisterous  patriots.  When  the 
news  of  the  first  defeats  had  reached 
the  capital  in  a  shape  which  forbade 
dlebellef,  the  despair  spread  lilte  a  dark 
veil  over  the  whole  city  of  Btamboul. 
Tho  fierceness  of  ten  days  before  was 
displaced  by  an  exhaustion  that  Was 
painful  to  contemplate.  The  men  look- 
ed cowed  and  broken  and  the  officers 
were   silent  and   sullen. 

Even    those   who  had   been   filled   with 
faith  at  the  sight  of  the  Young  Turkey 
party     proceeding,    In    the    spirit    of    re- 
form,   to    adopt    the    institutions    of    the 
West    to    the    circumstances      of      Mace- 
donia and  Albania,   began   to  admit  that 
their  sympathies  had  deceived   them  and 
that  for  Islam  there  was  only  one  mode 
of  reform,   which   was   to   "reform   It  al- 
together."       It    was    80    easy    to    be    led 
into   the  conviction    that     the     educated 
and   aspiring      Mohammedan     gentlemen 
of   India — some  of      whom     had     passed 
through     Cambridge       or       Oxford — men 
who    were    adeiits    in    English    law,    who 
had     followed    the     course     of     Imperial 
history,     who    could    discuss     the    great 
lights  and  glories  of  English   literature 
—represented   a   class   of   Moslems   who 
were    found    wherever    the    same    educa- 
tional  methods  were  applied   to   supple- 
ment   the    moral    training   of    Islam.      It 
Is   ciuite   as   easy,    now"    that     faith      in 
Young    Turkish     methods    lias    been    so 
sadly  disappointed,   to  Indulge  in  whole- 
nodna  ..and-  -to  abandon  all  hope 
0-f    Turkish    reformation.      This    passing 
from    extreme    to   extreme   is   not    to   be 
greatly    wondered    at    when    one    recalls 
the   absurd  and   extrtivagant  admiration 
of    Western   Chri.^tendom   and    the   ruin- 
ous   folly    of    removing   from    Macedonia 
the    safeguards    that    Kad    been    devised 
for   Us    protection.      Even    the    moderate 
and    conservative    thinkers    of    that    day 
of    licguilement    were    disposed    to    give 
the    young    Turks  a.   chance   in    the   hope 
that    what    seemed    to    have    beguiH    so 
Well    would    so    continue.      May    it    not 
be    that,    In    the  reaction   of    today   there 
i,s   n(j  less  grievous  a  mIstakeTj, 

\Yhat  is  really  wrong  with  Turkey? 
Why  have  its  soldiers  falletl  as  they 
never  failed  before?  Because,  we  are 
told,  the  Young  Turks  tried  to  com- 
bine two  principles"  that  were  wholly 
Incompatible.  The  army  was  to  be 
trained  to  patriotism,  but  the  religious 
-fientlment  was  to  be  dropped.  They 
were  to  fight  not  for  Din,  for  the  faith, 
but  for  the  country,  for  the  Empire, 
They  must  not  cherish  hopes  of  a  Para- 
dise imagined  by  fanatics  for  fanatics, 
as  a  reward  for  those  who  crushed  the 
enemies  of  Allah  and  his  Prophet.  All 
this,  which  was  part  of  tho  now  system 
of  military  policy  Intioduced  by  the 
Young  Turks, 'proved  a  V^^retched  mis- 
take, when  file  .soldiers  of  the  Sultan 
were  brought  face  to  face  with  enemies, 
Imbuod  with  Intense  zeal  on  behalf  of 
a  faith  which  was  opposed  to  that  of 
Allah  and  his  l*rophet.  There  Were 
other  innovations,  we  are  told.  That 
proved  disastrous.  The  non-commls- 
,sloned  officer,  who  was  a  bridge  be- 
tween officers  and  men  in  the  old  army, 
was  abolished  and  the  men  were  left 
face  to  face  with  officers  of  scientific 
training,  whose  complicated  instruc- 
tions they  could  not  und-erstand.  Re- 
ligious services  were  discouraged,  and 
the  bugle  calls  once  sounded  at  the 
hour  of  prayer  were  heard  no  more. 
The  consequences  of  these  changes.  We 
nre  told,  was  distrust  and  disorganiza- 
tion. The  men  had  no  leaders  Whom 
they  could  trust  and  the  old  inspiriting 
watchwords  were  gone.  If  this  be  bo, 
it   is   not   surprising    that   they   failed.

LONDON,  Dec.  28.  —  Paris  has  Us 
women  taxi-drivers,  and  in  Copenhagen 
you  may  often  see  a  girl  chauffeur 
wearing  the  buff  and  scarlet  livery  of 
the  taxi-driver,  but  so  far  London  has 
only  had  one  liveried  woman  chauffeur. 
Miss  Vera  Holme,  who  for  the  past 
thr.ie  years  has  driven  the  car  belonging 
to  the  Woman  Suffrage  Party  Union, 
and  has  Just  resigned  with  an  idea  of 
visiting  South  Africa  and  trekking  long 
the   Zambesi. 

Hers  has  been  one  of  the  most  inter- 
esting and  onerous  of  the  tasks  allot- 
ted by  that  organization;  not  only  has 
she  driven  busily  about  the  London 
streets  with  leaders  and  speakers,  but 
she  has  taken  tho  car  to  work  at  the 
nearer  by-elections,  has  been  on  tour 
with  it  all  over  the  country,  far  down 
to  the  West,  and  beyond  Inverness  In 
the  North.  She  has  kept  hundreds  of 
uppointmonts  to  time,  and  has  traveled 
many  thousands  of  miles,  and  she  can 
boast  that  she  has  never  been  fined  for 
exceeding  the  speed  limit,  nor,  in  eplte 
of  some  very  narrow  shaves,  has  ehe 
ever  had  an  accident. 

She  has  driven  all  sorts  of  distin- 
guished and  unexpected  people,  prin- 
cesses,, famous  writers,  actresses,  mem- 
bers of  Parliament,  churcli  dignitaries, 
musicians,  magistrates,  and,  curiously 
enough,  even  an  Inspector  of  police,  who 
was  most  amused  at  his  position  and 
eager  to  be  recognized  by  the  men 
along  the  route.  Her  greatest  ambition, 
to  drive  her  j-iurple  and  green  car  right 
Into  the  yard  at  the  House  of  Commons, 
was  realized  the  afternoon  she  took  Mr. 
Philip  Snowd-on  down  there  from  a 
meeting. 

Her  appearance  at  the  gates  created 
as  much  alarm  and  consternation  as 
she  could  have  wished,  till  suddenly 
the  men  on  duty  espied  Mr.  Snowdon, 
and  then  they  smiled  broadly  as  the 
car,  its  flag  flying,  drove  triumphantly 
through.  On  another  occasion  Mr.  Kier 
Hardie  was  a  passenger  and  Insisted  on 
helping  with  some  slight  repair,  re- 
marking that  it  was  "the  first  time  he 
had  ever  been  apprentice  to  a  chauf- 
feur.".. 

Miss  Holmes  speaks  warmly  of  the 
general  kindness  shown  to  her,  especi- 
ally by  people  of  her  own  craft.  She 
has  always  met  with  the  greatest  con- 
sideration from  the  men  at  the  garages 
all  over  the  country,  and  though  she 
can  do  all  the  necessary  repairs  to  her 
15-28  h.-p.  car — for  she  took  tlie  me- 
chanical course  at  a  London  school  as 
well  as  the  driver's — she  has  always 
found  chauffeurs  quick  to  offer  her  as- 
sistance. When  Miss  Holme  returns 
from  South  Africa  she  Intends  to  be- 
come a  chauffeur  again,  and  she  Is  keen 
that  other  women  should  follow  her 
example.

The  humiliation  of   the  fighting  Turk 
^  at  ills  own  game  of  war  has  been  exer- 
cising the  analytic  powers  of  those  who, 
on  the  basis  of  previous  knowledge,  had 
made    fdrecasts    of    his    triumph.    ,  Some 
of  the  recent  visitors   to  Constantinople 
have   begun    to  cast  doubt   on    the  state- 
ments   and    ylews    which    were    so    long 
accepted  as  accurate.     Where,  they  ask, 
Is  '  the    lordly    personage    whose    statell- 
ness    used    to    command    the   admiration 
of   the   British      soldier,      civil      official. 
Journalist  and   other   travelers  from  the 
British   Islands   In    the   middle  and  later 
years  of  the  Nineteenth  Cehtiirj'?     Was 
he    purely    a    fictitious    character?    nsks 
The   Montreal   Gazette.     It  not,   whither 
has  he  vanished?     One  writer  says  thnt 
ho    has    sought    In    vain    for    any    traces 
of    this   dignified    representative    of    the 
higher  class   of   the     Sultan'.<!     sMbjocts. 
On    the    other    hand,'  he    has    met    with 
frequent    examples    of  a    quite   dlfforerft 
type     of     Turk — "a    neurotic,     mercurial 
being,  differing  little  from  is  Levantine 
neighbors,    prone    to      exaggerated      tri- 
umph  and   despair,   as   jealous     as     the 
Greek,  and  as   ready  to  believe   that  his 
political    opponents,    his    government    or 
the  edgnoblparmak   (the  foreign  finger), 
that  dlaboluB   ex   rnachlna     of     Turkish 
political  melodrama,  has  sold  or  la  just 
about    to    sell    him    and    his    country    to 
his  enemies."     This  corresirondent   goes 
on   to  relate  what  he   had   seen   during 
the   last   two   months   or   more   In    Con- 
stantinople.   In    which    time    the    course 
of   the   war   has   furnished   occasion   for 
every    alternation    of    triumph    and    de- 
spair.    In   the  first     place,     when     the

John  B,  Mitchell,  on  behalf  of  Mitchell

wheel  steamer  Telegraph  from  the  un- 
derwriters. The  Telegraph  was  sunk 
by  the  steamer  Alameda  while  lying 
along  side  of  the  Colman  dock,  Seattle, 
on  April  25,  last,  and  was  afterwards 
raised.  She  was  tho  fastest  vessel  of 
her  type  on  the  Sound,  and  It  is  the  j 
Intention  of  her  buyers  to  put  her  Into  a 
state  of  complete  repair,  when  she  will 
be  placed  on  one  of  the  Sound  passen- 
ger  routes.

day. The  shipment  consists  of  201 
boxes,  weighing  In  all  about  160,000 
pounds.  These  high  figures  are  the 
result  of  the  bad  weather,  and  the  fish-

Hero  of  Magersfojitein  Buried 
-With  Others  of  ::Black  Watch, 
December  18,   1899— Was 
Turning  Point  of  War 


I 


The  elKhteanth  of  December,  1899, 
dawned  a  day  amoni;  the  blackest  in 
the  history  of  modern  Britain.  Then 
th«  arms  of  the  Empire  had  been  de- 
feated In  battle  full  a  dozen  times; 
then  the  proud  flag  of  Britain,  the 
Union  Jack,  had  bean  hurlad  from  Itf 
pedestal  and  tramped  Ihto  the  very 
duet:  then  the  untrained  burghers  fif 
the  veldt  had  adniiuislered  reverse 
after  reverse  on  iho  octilcd  ranks  of 
British  warriors;  then  the  nations  of 
Kurope  looked  on  with  ill-concealed 
Joy  as  the  proud  mistress  of  the  seas 
was  humbled  before  her  adversaries. 
Th<»  might  of  Nelson  was  talked  of  as 
a  thing  of  the  past,  tho  grlory  of  Em- 
pirn  was  proclaimed  ae  empty  and 
perished,  the  srroatness  of  Britlsli  iu- 
s\ltutions  was  tliouKht  to  have  van- 
Iwhed  for  ever.  This  people  was  rtc- 
sisrnated  as  a  nation  which  hud  lost  all 
save  reputation  of  greatness  and  darl< 
indeed^  was  the  hour  for  Briliwh  pro- 
feronce  and   British    honor. 

Brwakirtg  in  on  tills  midnight  black- 
ness of  .  despair,  however,  came  brnflit 
Bleams  of  Jndivldxial  and  rfi;inK'ntaI 
bravery,  which  caused  the  pulses  <'f 
Britishers  to  throb  anew  witli  their 
ancient  pride.  Ladysniitli  was  figbl- 
Ing  for  her  lite;  ''KImhe-rley  -wna  brave- 
U-  holding  her  own,  Mafeking,  under 
Baden  Powell,  was  enthroning  herself, 
Immortal,  in  tho  affections  and  wan- 
ing hopes  of  the  nation.  Never  a  troop 
had  left  the  field  in  cowardice. 

Methuen  was  pressing  on  for  Kim- 
berley  thro.u«h  the  almoat  impenetrable 
Boer  defences.  He  approached  th« 
'Boer  defences  At  Modder  River  and  hla 
arms  foil  Into  the  death  trap  of  idag- 
orsfonteln.  It  was  then  that  the  noble 
Black  Watch  Highlanders  were  well 
nigh  annihilated,  and  bravo  Wauchope 
felir  among  the  hundreds  of  his  men.  It 
wag  a  fearful  defeat,  a  masterful  trap, 
but  as  a  defeat'  it  proved  a  victory. 

A  new  fire  Was  lighted  in  Britain 
that  day.  News  of  heroic  death  waa 
flamed  throughout  the  Homeland.  A 
song  of  exaltation  sprang  from  every 
Britiah  heart  and  the  slumbering  spirit 
of  the  nation  was  fully  roused  to  the 
ta.sk  of  conyuest.  Men  and  money  were 
poured  Into  South  Africa.  The  tide  of 
battle  turned,  and  soon  Britiah  troops 
were  hammering  at  the  gates  of  Pre- 
toria and  the  country  was  subdued. 

Beatli   of  tbe  Bla«k  Watob 

And    this    result    was    brought    about 
largely    because    of    the    noble    dying    of 
Britain's    famous    Black    Watch.      Below 
is  given   The  London  Dally   News   story 
of  the  burial  of  that  master  hero.  Gen- 
eral  Wauchoj)e,   and   already   in   it   there 
were   seen    signs    of    tho    re-kindllng    of 
British    spirit,    that     spirit    which       has 
ever    assorted    there    was      nothing      it 
could   not   do   in   matters   warlike- 
Throe   hundred    yards    fo    tho    rear   of 
the     little    township     of     Modder    Ilivor, 
Just  as   the  sun   was   sinking   in  a   bla^e 
of   African    splendor,   on   the   evening  "of 
Tuesday,    the   13th   ot.  OScenrber,   a   lorue 
shallow    grave      lay      exposed      in      the 
breast   of    the   veldt.      To    tlie    westward 
the    broad   river   fringed    with    trees    ran 
murmuringly,       to       the    eastward       tho 
heights   Btill   held    by    the  enemy   scowl- 
ed   menacingly,    north    and      south      tho 
veldt      undulated      peacefully;      a      few, 
paces    to    tho    northward    of    that    grave 
BO     dead    Hlgrhlanders    lay,    dressed     as 
thej-  had   fallen  on  the  field   of   battle; 
they    had    followed    irftur    chief    to    the 
field,   and    they   were    to    follow   hlin    to 
the   grave.      How    grim   and    stern    tlieae 
dead    men    looked   as    tliey    lay    face   t^p- 
ward    to    the    sky,    with      great      hands 
clenched    In    ihe   last   death    agony,   and 
broWB   still   knitted  with   the  stem   luet 
of   the  strife  Jn'  which   they   had   fallen. 
Tli«  plaid*  dear  to  every  Highland  clan 
were  represented  there,  and,  as  I  looked, 
out    of    the    dletanoe   came      the      eound 
of  the   pipes;    it   was  the  general   coin- 
ing  to  Join  his   men      There,    right  un- 
der th«  eyes  of  the  enemy,  moved  with 
alow     and    |ioI«mn     tread     all     that    re- 
mained   of    the    Highland    Brigade.      In 
front    of    them    walked     the      chaplain 
with    bared    head,  t^reased   tn^  IiIr   robe* 
ot    office,    then   came    the   pipers,    with 
their  'pipes,   eixtee^   in   all,   and;   behind 
them,    with '  arms    reversed,    moved    the 
HIghlandera,   dressed   in   all   the  regalia 
of    their    regiments,   and    In    the    midiit. 
the   dMtd   gtoeniil    borne   by    f6ur  of   his 
oomraiSea.      Out    eweUed    the    pipea      to 
the,  atnMna    of    "The    .Flowera.   of    the 
Foraat,"    now'  ringing    proud    ahA    high 
until    the    Boldier'b    head    went    hack    In 
haughty  .deflcJ'ice     and      eyes      flashed 
ibi^qitli  ^teara    like    sunlight    on    Ateel; 
ho«r   sinking  to  a  mooning  wail  like  a 
w<Hiian    mourning    for      her      firstborn. 
uAtll  the  proud  hoads  dropped  forward 
till  they  reated'  on  heaving  chests,  and 
taara  rolled  down  the  wan  and  scarred 
faeea,    and    th«     choking     aoba      broke 
through    the      solemn      rythm      of    the 
tnaroh   of  death-     Right     up     to.     the 
grave   thf )^t  inarched,   then    broke   away 
In  compahlea,   until   ttiik   general   lay   In

of  Terrible  Cendltlons  In  Besieged 
TnrMsh   City.  _  _^ 

LONDON,  -D'eo.  -28. — Ah"  Interesting 
letter  hay  b(.'on  received  by  the  Lord 
Mayor  from;  Mi'.  H.  M.' Walls,  who,  with 
Mr.  CroKfield  and  Mr.  Kdward  Back- 
liouse,  is  personally'  adminislratirig  tlie 
Friends', War  Victims'  Kelief  Fund,  from 
Sofia,  dated  isTovember  ?.l,  giving  the 
following  particulars  of  tho  distress  at 
Adrianopie: 

"With  £5,000  In  hand  we  are  buying 
about  5,000  sacks  of  army  contract 
flour,  which  General  Dimltreff  places 
at  our  disposal  at  tlie  contract  price  at 
Burgas,  Isamboli  and  Carnobat.  This 
wo  are  to  get  free  carriage  for  to 
Mustafa  Pasha  (fifteen  mile.s  west  of 
the  lines  of  investment),  and  reserve 
until  Adrianopie  surrenders,  when  wo 
are  promised  all  facilities  for  getting  it 
into  the  city  in  such  quantities  as  we 
may  be  able  to  handle.  This  scheme 
Is  the  outcome  of  an  audience  with 
Queen  Eleonora,  repeated  interviews 
with  M,  Guechoff,  Prime  Minister,  and 
three  other  ministers  whose  depart- 
ments were  involved.  We  are  con- 
vinced that  by  no  other  way  can  we 
mora  promptly  benefit  so  many  miser- 
able people,  and  we  have  absolute  con- 
fidence In  the  good  faith  and  good  will 
of   the   authorities    here. 

"Wo  are  painfully  impressed  by  the 
extent  and  the  extreme  gravity  of  the 
emergency,  which  undoubtedly  ex- 
coeds,  and  probably  nearly  doubles,  the 
estimate  placed  upon  it  by  such  papers 
as  We  have  seen.  The  usual  computa- 
tion for  the  civilians  In  Adrianopie  is 
50,000 — some  have  put  it  at  60,000.  But 
yesterday  evening  General  Dimltreff 
assured  us  that  the  number  can  hardly 
be  less  than  110.000,  and  may  be  more. 
The  civilians,  after  many  had  been  ex- 
pelled by  the  Turkish  commandant, 
must  still  have  numbered  80,000.  and 
to  this  must  be  added  80,000  more 
country  people — inhabitants  of  tho  dis- 
trict enclosed  by  the  turning  movement 
of  tho  Bulgarian  army,  who  did  not,  as 
reported,  make  for  Constantinople  (100 
miles  distant),  but  for  Adrianopie,  the 
ability  of  which  to  hold  out  nobody 
doubted.  This  takes  no  account  of 
25,000  troops,  and,  deducting  10,000 
for  deaths  among  the  Christians  during 
the  four  weeks'  siege,  as  the  general 
proceeded  to  do,  he  arrived  at  the  fig- 
ures .staled.  The  general  said  to  us: 
'Your  5,000  sacks  will  feed  that  lot  for 
only  three  days  or  so."  He  Is  himself 
making  some  arrangements,  but  we 
quite  reoogn'se  that  his  first  duty  is 
to  victual  his.  army,  and,  so  far  as  we 
know,  no  other  organization  than  ours 
is  doing  anytlilng  for  the  noncom- 
batants,  nor  did  Queen  El'eonora,  nor 
did    the    Premier,    know    of   any  .     . 

When  the  place  falls  the  trouble  Is 
only  begun.  There  Is  not  even  a  rug 
left  in  a  house  or  a  morsel  of  food 
within  a  radius  of  twelve  miles."

LONDON,  Dec.  28. — London,  accord-

There  is  only  one  maker  of  Semi-ready — and  how  good 
it  is  you  will  know  when  many  men  on  the  street  will 
eagerly  claim  their  product  to  be  "  Semi-ready  made," 
or  some  other  play  on  this  good  name.  Fame  attracts 
infamy,  and  prestige  causes  envy;  where  the  man's  character 
is  weak  he  just  imitates  and  gibbers.

next  January  26,  and,  as  liis  name  he- 
tokens,  he  iR  a  (lrs<-endaJit  of  the  Bard's 
family.  While  .ftiil  a  young  man,  Mr. 
.Shake.speare  hade  farewell  to  the  Old 
Country,  his  wife  following  him 
next  year.  He  set  sail  for  British  Co- 
lumbia on  the  steamship  Hoberl  Low, 
traveled  via  tlic  Horn,  and  arrived  In 
Ksqulmalt  on  .fanuary  10,  1863.  He 
went  up  to  Nanalmo,  where  he  secured 
a  position  at  the  coal  mlne.-s.  helping-  to 
weigh  coal  at  the  pit  head  under  the 
late  Hon,  Robert  Dunsnniir. 
Xiocated  ixL  Victoria 
He  afterwards  went  to  work  in  the 
Douglas  coal  pit,  and  after  spending 
sixteen  months  in  Xanaitno  came  down 
to  "Victoria,  where  ho  secured  a  po.sl- 
tlon  In  the  late  Mr.  George  Kardon's 
phoiograpbic  gallery.  Later  on,  how- 
ever, he  set  up  in  business  for  himself, 
his  premises  being  near  th*  old  Vic- 
toria Theatre  on  Government  Street, 
the  gallery  over  which  he  also  rented  as 
business  increased.  Aftrr  a  few  year.s 
Mr.  Shakespeare  gave  up  pliotograpliy 
arid  went  Into   real   estate. 

It  was  about  this  time  that  he  began 
to  take  an  active  part  In  municipal  poli- 
ties. After  being  a  monvber  of  the 
Municipal  Council,  as  It  was  then  called, 
for  four  years,  he  was,  In  1882,^lected 
Mayor.  Ho  held  the  office  for  one  year, 
during  which  period  the  Mrtirciuis  )f 
Lome,  then  Governor-General  of  Can- 
ada, and  Princeae  Louise,  pa:<i  their 
well-remembered  visit — the  Visit  that 
charmed  ihtm'  so  much  that  the  Prin- 
cess wrote  home  to  her  august  mother, 
the  late  Queen  Victoria,  to  r&y  that  if 
only  the  capital  Of  the  tVimlnlon  could 
be  altered,  sho  would  bo  delighted  to 
paea  the  whole  of  the  year  In  the  city 
of  Victoria. 

As  Chief  Magistrate,  many  arduous 
dutl^3  fell  upon  Mr.  .Shakespeare  during 
the  visit  of  his  sovereign's  daughter 
and  her  consort — duties  which  h«  carried 
out  In  a  manner  that  won  for  him  the 
respect  and  kindly  feeling  of  all  who 
were  brought  in  Contact  with  him  at 
that  period. 

Xleotad  fa  faxUauant 
In  the  same  year  Mr.  Shakespeare 
was  Induced  to  run  as  mennber  of  Par- 
liament for  tTie  Dominion  Legislature  In 
the  Conservative  Interests.  His  efforts 
were  crowned  with  success,  and  from 
the  City  Hall  In  Victoria  he  went  to 
the  House  of  Common.'?  at  Ottawa.  He

Durlns:  the  year  juHt  ending  the  ma- 
terial proKresii  of  Victoria  lias  been 
greater  than  ever  before  in  the  lilslory 
of  Uie  city.  Public  and  private  enter- 
priae  have  combined  to  make  thla  city 
one  erected  on  strong  and  broad  fountla- 
^lonB.  In  this  march  of  progreaK  th's 
corporation  Itsolf  has  not  been  behind 
hand.  In  the  records  for  the  ye»«r  now 
being  compiled  by  the  various  civic  of- 
fnrtai-B,  tlie  work  of  improvement  carried 
oiit  by  the  miinicli)ality  l\as  been  greal- 
fr  than  In  any  previous  year.  Victoria's 
pace  In  the  mattor  of  up-to-dete  Im- 
provemcnt.H  .ha.s  been  a  rapid  one;  and 
t^i.e  renilta  of  the  policy  so  assiduously 
followed  hy  IIiIk  year's  council  is  se^-ii 
In  the  finely  paved  and  brilliantly-il- 
luminated tlioroughfMres,  the  great  tx- 
tenslons  in  the  various  public  Her\  ices 
such  as  water,  sewer  and  lighting  fa- 
cilities, and  the  many  other  public 
works  which  are  a  credit  to  the  city 
and   a  source   of   pride   to  the   residents. 

The  ye«r  \^\t  haa  b»en  one  of  In-'

systems  and  tlie  thousand  and  oiu- 
other  necessary  Improvements  have  been 
successfully  completed  or  advanced  to  a 
satisfactory    extent. 

A  summary  of   the   reports   now  being 

compiled     by     the    officiaKs    shows    that

If  there  is  one  tiling  that  the  rate- 
payer of  the  city  recognizes  today  It  Is 
the  decidedly  improved  condition  of  the 
city's  thoroughfares  In  comparison  with 
this  time  a  year  ago.  At  just  what  cost 
f<t;r  materials  and  labor  this  work  has 
been  done  may  not  be  known  to  him, 
but  he  natura-lly  judges  by  results  and 
these  speak  for  themselves.  The  great 
rtumber  of  fine  business  streets  paved 
and  clean;  the  miles  upon  miles  of 
rnagnificent  residential  thoroughfares 
paved,  boulevarded  and  lighted,  all  bear 
testimony  to  the  great  amount  of  work 
b'eing  done  In  the  city  by  the  army  of 
men  on   the  civic  pay-rolls. 

The  paving  programme  initiated 
eighteen  months  ago  has  been  prose- 
cutefl  with  vigor  by  the  two  companies 
to  which  these  contracts  for  nearly 
si.xty  miles  of  streets  have  been  let. 
There  are  now  laid  about  forty-six  miles 
of  asphalt  pavement  and  the  balance  of 
this  work  will  be  completed  as  soon  us 
better  weather  conditions  permit.  This 
year  twenty-four  miles  of  pavement 
have  been  laid  compared  with  twenty- 
one  for  the  preceding  year  and  include 
the  greater  part  of  the  more  important 
thoroughfares.  especially  the  trunk 
roads,  which  were  delayed  owing  to  ex- 
propriation proceedings  or  other  pre- 
liminary work.  The  cost  of  this  work 
this  year  was  approximately  $1,160,- 
828.  Practically  the  only  thorough- 
Are  in  a  bad  Condition  Is  the  Oorge 
Road,  which,  because  of  delay  in  lay- 
ing the  Sooke  L^e  water  jnain  ami  the 
(7ity  distribution  malti,  could  nbt  be 
commenced  before  wet  weather  arrived. 
On  the  other  hand,  Burnside  Road,  Oou- 
«las  Street,  Cralgflower  Road,  Esqui- 
mau Road,  Hillside  Avenue,  Fort  Street, 
Dallas  Rood,  and  other  Important 
streets  have  been  completed.  Jiuring 
the  coming  year.  Pandora  Avenue  which 
when  extended  through  to  Fort  Street 
will  be  one  of  the  leading  thorough- 
fares of  the  city,  will  be  paved;  Doug- 
las Street  will  be  completed;  Fairfield 
Hoad  carried  through,  and  Gorge  Road 
proceeded  with,  practically  completing 
the  chief  paving  works  ahead  of  the 
city.  The  paving  companies  have  been 
paying  approximately  $60,000  per  month 
for  materials  and  wage*,  and  keeping 
from  400  to  800  men  employed  dally  on 
the   various  city   contracts. 

Sralaair*  Problems 
With  the  continued  growth  of  the 
city  probably  one  of  the  most  pressing 
problems  Is  that  of  sewerage;  and  1912 
proved  a  busy  year  for  the  construction 
department  in  that  particular,  not  so 
much  In  the  number  of  miles  of  sewers, 
surface  drains  and  laterals  laid  as  the 
itiaicnltudc  of  the  work  undertaken.  The 
northeast  sewer,  costing  approximately 
flBO.OOO,  Was  commenced  and  almost 
completed  after  many  difficulties  be- 
ing encouatered.  and  next  year  will  be 
ready  aa  an  outlet  for  the  comprehen- 
sive scheme  which  City  Bn»lneer  Rust 
plans  to  drain  the  whole  northeastern 
section  of  the  city  and  the  contiguous 
portions  ot  the  nelghborlnv  municipal- 
fty,  In  all  about  1470.000  was  spent 
on  this  cla««  of  work  and  next  yaar'a

approxtinateiy  1700,000.  Thirteen  mil4M

work  to  b«  done'  next  year,  as  It  tn* 
eludes  the  construction  uf  a  main  trunk 
•ewer  from  the  Victoria  Arm  south- 
easterly to  the  Straits  at  a  point  at  or 
near   Macaulay    Point. 

In  fact,  the  need  of  greater  drainage 
facilities  in  every  part  of  the  city  Is 
such  that  whatever  other  works  of  pub- 
lic Improvement  are  allowed  to  lag  that 
of  sewerage  must  be  pressed  ahead  Ir- 
reapectlva  of  cost.  City  Bnslneer  Rust's 
proarramme  for  the  coming  year  Is  a 
ifiost"  extensive  one  but  every  part  of 
it  is  necessary  for  the  well-being  of  the 
el  by. 

SBor*MSdl  Water  Sapply 

The  water  supply  has  been  another 
problem  which  the  growth  of  the  city 
has  forced  to  the- front,  and  with  the 
Sooke  lAke  development  scheme  under 
way  and  the  peed  of  an  adequate  sup- 
ply for  daily  use  until  such  time  as  the 
larger  source  will  be  available,  now  con- 
fronting the  city,  the  problem  has 
proved  a  most  difficult  one.  With  the 
handing  over  of  the  water  works  de- 
partment to  Mr.  ftu.st  that  official  has 
another  serious  work  confronting  him, 
'Pile  .Sooke  Lake  supply  will  not  be 
available  until  .lanuary,  1314,  even  if 
the  contractors  catch  up  with  arrears 
of  work;  anil  with  the  IClk  Lake  supply 
liarcly  meeting  requirements  now,  some 
other  meuns  of  Increasing  the  supply 
must  be  secured.  .Data  has  been  iire- 
pare(.l  by  Mr.  Rust,  whose  report  will 
be  befort  the  council  almost  Ininu'di- 
ately. 

Durins  the  year  the  water  works  de- 
partment con.'structed  thirteen  miltrs  of, 
water  mains  as  follows:  four-inch 
mnin.s,  31.730  feet;  fhe-lnch  mains, 
2,000    feet;    six-Inch    mains,    16,386    feet: 

X'lgh t-ineli  jiiaiiia. .. S.aa^S  -^S.e.ex^ twelver. 

Inch  mains  7,373  feet.  The  total  cost 
of  laying  these  was  $85,809.  or  i)  t  u 
lale  of  approximately  $1.30  per  foot. 
In  past  years  city  workmen  have  suc- 
ceeded In  e.«!capliig  mueii  expeiL^iive  rock 
work  but  as  the  system  is  extended  tlie 
difficulties  become  more  pronounced 
with  the  result  that  the  cost  has  been 
increased  as  the  expensive  blastlnj: 
work   had    to   be   carried   out. 

The  growth  of  water  services  Is  in- 
dication of  the  Increase  in  population. 
This  .vear  a  total  of  1.621  new  services 
were  Installed,  bringing  the  total  num- 
ber in  use  (not  including  those  in  Vic- 
toria West)  to  8, .101.  In  1911  the  ser- 
vices Installed  totalled  1,013  and  in 
1910,  591:  this  year's  being  nearly  three 
times  as  great  as  two  years  ago. 

Of  the  greatest  importance  to  the 
success  of  the  city's  waterworks  sys- 
tem was  the  repairing  of  Smith's  HIU 
reservoir  carried  out  on  plans  prepared 
by  Mr.  R.  H.  Thomson,  of  Seattle,  the 
work  on  which  was  supervised  by  Mr. 
A.  E.  Foreman,  assistant  to  t:;ity  Kn- 
gineer  Rust.  The  repairs  cost  $65,00(» 
and  have  proved  effective  in  the  higliest 
degree.  The  Sooke  Lake  work  under 
way  has  cost  to  date  approximately 
$375,000,  which  amount  must  be  added 
to  the  year's  expenditure  on  public 
works. 

In  addition  to  the  Increasing  demand 
from  consumers  within  the  city  proper 
the  needs  of  Oak  Bay  and  the  neighbour- 
ing portions  of  South  Saanich  have  had 
to  be  met  by  the  city's  system  and  the 
growth  of  these  sections  which  must 
look  to  the  city  for  their  supply  ren- 
ders imperative  the  enlarging  of  the 
present  supply  until  such  time  as  Sooke 
Lake   is  available. 

Sidewalks    and   BonlsTards 

Coincident  with  the  increase  in  the 
construction  work  on  local  services  the 
progress  made  on  sidewalk  and  boule- 
vard work  has  been  in  proportion.  The 
city's  policy  of  constructing  only  per- 
manent walks  h.is  resulted  In  the  en- 
tire city  being  provided  for  in  this  di- 
rection on  a  substantial  basis.  The 
Improvement  to  the  tlioroughfares  by 
boulevarding  the  residential  streets  is 
also  shown  In  their  greatly  increased 
attractiveness. 

In  no  department  of  civic  endeavor 
haa  greater  improvement  been  shown 
thfin  In  the  electric  lighting  service. 
The  extension  of  the  cluster  lighting 
8.v>Btem  has  g-or-  erace  at  an  increased 
rajte  over  last  >  ear  when  the  scheme 
was  first  Initiated;  and,  in  consequence, 
Victoria  Is,  undoubtedly,  the  best  light- 
ed city  of  its  size  In  America.  All  the 
downtown  "freetB  have  now  been  cover- 
ed or  arranged  for  this  year's  exten- 
sions, comprl..::iic  shout  two  and  one- 
half  miles  in  lenst.i  In  addition,  at- 
tention has  been  paid  to  the  outside 
sections,  250  arc  lights  of  the  most  ap- 
proved type  having  been  Installed, 
bringing  the  total  to  700,  and  another 
150  will  be  installed  almost  immedi- 
ately. The  cheaper  power  secured  from 
the  Jordan  River  plant  of  the  Vancou- 
ver Island  Power  Company  under  the 
agreement  between  the  company  and 
the  city,  had  made  it  possible  to  ex- 
tend the  street  llffhtlng  facilities  at  a 
cost  favorable  to  the  city.  Today  the 
monthly  charge  for  street  lighting  Is 
approximately  $1000.  The  system  as 
designed  is  the  work  of  City  Electrician 
Hutchison,  who  has  carried  It  through 
to  a  suecessful  completion. 

In  addition  to  the  a^ovc  city  works 
which  require  the  expenditure  of  large 
sums  end  the  employment  of  the  larg- 
est number  of  workmen  ever  engaged  in 
any  single  year,  other  important  Works 
have  been  under  way  during  the  year. 
The  Sooke  Lake  development  work  is 
progressing:  the  new  bridge  over  tKa 
ravine  on  the  Gorge  Road  has  b««n 
erected  at  a  cost  of  125.000;  the  Ross 
Bay  sea  wall  was  finished  .and  la  prov-

more  frequent  and  thorough  service, 
and  one  less  expensive  than  the  old 
method.  The  appointment  of  a  city

special  attention  Having  been  paid  to 
milk,  butter  and  other  dairy  products, 
and  thS;  inapectlon  has  ahown  that  In 
point  of  quality  the  articles  vejjfled  In

with  but  very  few  exceptions.  The 
new  stable  by-law  passed  this  year  has 
added  materially  to  sanltkry  Improve- 
ment, and  these  structures  are  rapidly 
being  made  to  conform  with  the  by- 
law, especially  in  regard  to  sewer  con- 
nections and  concrete  floors.  The 
chief  trouble  during  the  year  has  been 
the  lack  of  adequate  drainage  facili- 
ties In  some  parts  of  the  city,  the  rai>Id 
KTowth  of  the  city  rendering  sanitary 
conditions  in  some  sections  rather  dif- 
ficult of  improvement.'  At  present 
nineteen  collection  carts  are  In  service 
and  this  number  will  be  added  to.  In 
addition,  the  city  has  undertaken  the 
collection  of  garbage  from  hotels,  res- 
taurants,- etc.,  work  hitlierto  done  by 
private  parties.  The  improved  serxlce 
which  the  city,  with  its  up-to-dale  fa- 
cllliles,  can  give,  Is  readily  appreciated 
by    the   proprietors   of   such   premlse-s. 

The  new  year  promises  even  better 
results.  AVith  the  complete  and  much- 
needed  reorganization  in  the  work.s  de- 
partment, wliich  will  become  effective 
when  work  resumes  In  the  Spring,  the

QUEER  TRADITIONS 

Human    Blood    or    Tears    Often     Fabled 

Source  of  riowers — Danes  Xespon- 

slble  for  Saneweed  in  Bngland 

lUinian  blood  and  tears  are  frequently 
legendary  aoiirces  of  plants.  A«  a 
Bcnfrral  rule,  red  flowers  spring  from 
the  former,  and  white  from  the  latter. 
Thus,  Greek'  tradition  sajs.  that  the 
anemone  sprang  from  the  passionate 
tears  Venus  shed  over  the  dead  body 
of 'Adonis. 

Among  the  Virginian  tribes,  too,  red 
rlover  was  suppo.sed  to  have  sprung 
from  and  to  be  colored  by  the  blood  of 
the  red  men  slain  in  battle  with  .|  ■ 
white  invaders.  In  a  similar  manner 
the  red  popples  wtiich  followed  the  plow- 
ing of  the  field  of  Waterloo  were  said 
to  have  sprung  from  the  blood  of  the 
killed  and   wounded    In    that  battle. 

According  to  tradition,  the  Danish  in- 
vasion Is  the  cause  of  the  Daneweed,  a 
coarse  esteraceous  plant  common  in 
England,  as  it  sprang  from  the  blood  of 
J>ane8  «lain  in  battle,  and  if  cut  on  a 
c'erlain  day  in  the  year  it  bleeds.  The 
clu.stered  bellflower  is  also  associated 
wfth   this   historical    event 

In  the  village  of  Bartlow  there  are 
four  remarkable  hills  supposed  to  have 
been  thrown  up  by  the  Dane's  as  monu- 
mental me»iorIals  of  the  battle  fought 
In  10#;  between  Canute  and  Edmund 
Ironside.  The  clustered  bellflower  la 
largely  scattered  over  these  mounds,' 
and  the  cottages  about  attribute  its 
presence  there  to  Its  having  originated 
in  Danish   blood. 

In  Sussex  the  Illy  of  the  valley  Is 
said  to  be  a  memorial  of  the  battle  St 
Leonard  fought  with  a  dragon.  The 
holy  man  encountered  a  mighty  worm 
or  fire  drake  In  the  forest,  and  battled 
with  it  for  three  days.  At  last  the 
Saint  was  victorious,  though  wotmded 
seriously,  and  wherever  his  blood 
dropped  there  sprang  up  lilies  of  thp 
valley  In  profusion.  In  France  the  lily 
of  the  valley  Is  said  to  spring  from  the 
Virgin's    tears. 

There  is  an  amusing  story  told  of  the 
origin  of  tiie  bramble.  There  were  once 
three  partners  engaged  In  the  wool 
trade.  They  loaded  a  ship  with  a  large 
cargo,  but  It  was,  wrecked  and  the  firm 
became  bankrupt.  All  resorted  to  meta- 
morphosis for  protection.  One  partner 
became  the  bat.  and  so  skulks  about  till 
midnlgiht  to  avoid  his  creditors;  the 
second  became  the  cormorant,  and  Is  fpr* 
ever  diving  into  the  deep  to  discover 
the  foundered  vessel;  while  the  third 
became  the  bramble  bush,  that  sits  by 
the  roadside,  and  seizes  hold  of  every 
passing  sheep  to  make  up  his  loss  by 
theft 

A.  rather  humorous  pedigree  Is  as- 
signed to  the  violet  Theae  flowers 
were  once  girls  who,  having  dcfeateil 
Venus  In  a  dispute  she  had  with  Cupid 
as  to  whether  she  or  they  excelled  In 
iwweetness,  were  beaten  tolue  by  the 
angry   goddess   and   changed   to  violets.

answering  the  description  of  those

t.CliaiS3a  for  Month* 
For  months  tlie  chase  was  kept  up,  de- 
veloping into  the  sternest  man-hunt  ever 
carried  out  in  the  blBtory  of  the  Prov- 
ince and  in  its  dramatic  Incidents  one 
which  reads  like  a  page  from  a  dime 
novel.  The  pursuers  fully  recognized 
that  their  quarry  would  make  a  desper- 
ate roslsteiice.  The  fiigltlvoa  were  both 
young  men  of  magnlflcent  physique, 
thoroughly  acciualntcd  wjth  the  country, 
experts  with  the  rifle  and  In  woodcraft, 
the  Indian  Paul  being  reputed  as  the 
best  woodsman  In  the  Cariboo  country. 
The  desperate  character  of  the  outlaws 
was  recognized  by  Attorncy-G.gneral 
Howser,  the  significant  change  in  the  re- 
ward whlcli  was  lirst  offered  for  tiie  cap- 
ture of  tiie  pair,  to  make  It  read  "dead 
or  alive,"  testifying  to  the  wholesome 
respect  which  tho  authorities  had  for 
the  the  well-known  determination  of 
Paul  and  Splntlum  not  to  be  taken  alive. 
Tl.o  likely  outlets  from  tho  district 
via  Illghbar,  on  the  l-'raser  River,  and 
the"  crossing"  at  Leon  Creeit,  were  clo-sely 
guarded,  ami  a  cordon  virtually  drawn 
around  \he  triangle  contained  within  the 
bou:,iilnries  of  the  old  Ashcroft  Trail,  the 
valleio  of  the  Fraeor  and  Thompson 
River!*.  Both  of  the  outlaws  knew  every 
foot  of  the  ground  and  the  district  is 
of  the  wildest  character,  a  territory  in 
which  determined  criminals,  well  armed 
anri  mounted  and  with  tiie  sympathy  of 
the  Indians  of  the  district,  could  long 
laugh   at   pursuit. 

District  Terrorized 

Tl\e  inhabitants  of  the  entire  country- 
side were  in  a  state  of  excitement. 
Kvery  rancher  went  armed  and  lived  in 
dally  fear  of  the  outlaws,  whose  pres- 
ence was  on  more  tlian  one  occasion 
manifested  by  thefts  of  horses  or  sup- 
plies from  xvidoly  separated  ranches.  In 
all  sixty  men  were  scattered  In  and 
about  the  district  within  a  radius  of 
fifty  miles  from  Clinton.  For  nearly 
tUreo  months  the  cha.se  was  kept  up, 
but  although  frequent  traces  of  the  fugi- 
tives were  secured  the  men  could  not  be 
finally  rounded  up.  The  excitement  died 
down  thougii  the  provincial  police  by  no 
nio.Tn.<s  gave  \jp  hopes  of  effecting  their 
capture. 

Attorney-General  Bowser  has  been 
kept  in  clost;  touch  with  the  progress 
of  the  hunt.  Every  clue  pointing  to- 
wards the  location  of  the  outlaws  was 
followed  up,  and  close  wt..ch  kept  upon 
the  known  friends  and  relati-ifes  of  the 
fugitive   Indians. 

Constable  rorsythe's  SklU 
To  Chief  Constable  Forsythe.  who,  two 
months  ago  was  transferred  from  Port 
lisslngton,  where  he  did  excellent  work, 
to  Clinton,  can  th'e  chief  credit  for  the 
round-up  of  Paul  and  Splntlum  be 
ascribed,  according  to  Attorney-General 
Bowser.  His  ability  was  recognized  In 
the  transfffr  to  a  .«rpot  where  the  pro- 
gress of  construction  work  on  the  Paci- 
fic Great  Eastern  required  a  man  of 
resource  and  experience.  A  month  ago. 
In  conjunction  with  a  subordinate.  Con- 
stable .Atkln,  Chief  Constable  Forsythe 
located  the  wife  of  the  outlaw  Paul  and 
another  young  woman,  a  former  com- 
p'knlon  of  Splntlum.  It  was  ascertained 
that  they  had  been  for  a  considerable  time 
stealthily  supplying  Paul  and  Siiintlum 
with  food  and  other  nec'essaries.  Chl«f 
Constable  Forsythe  kept  Attornoy-Gen- 
crail  Bowser  posted  as  to  the  movements 
of  the  two  women,  and  a  plan  was  laid 
to  secure  possession  of  tho  outlaws. 
IfOdged  m  Tall 
Yesterday  Paul  and  Splntlum  were 
handed  over  to  Con,«itable  Burr  at  Ash- 
croft. the  latter  lmm<.>dlately  notifying 
the  department  here,  and  then  proceed- 
ing with  the  captives  to  Kamloops, 
where  adequate  jail  quarters  await  the 
murder.TS  nf  the  two  whites  and  tho 
Chinaman,  and  where  tlvey  will  prob- 
ably be  tried  at  the  next  assizes. 

Advices  from  Ashcroft  last  night 
stated  that  Paul  and  Splntlum,  although 
somewhat  emaciated,  are  not  In  such  a 
condition  as  might  be  expected,  con- 
sidering tlielr  long  exposure  and  hard- 
ships, and  as  they  quietly  smoked  their 
pipes  In  the  Ashcroft  Hotel,  around 
which  a  large  crowd  had  gathered  In 
an  effort  to  sec  the  pair  who  had  for 
months  ovWawed  tho  district,  to  the 
spectators  they  did  not  se*m  like  the 
desperate  criminals  flwhose  craftiness 
had  for  months  strained  the  utmost  re- 
sources of  the  polloe  depwrtriient  In  ef- 
fecting their  final   capturo. 


Cojiditions    in 
Wrongly  Picture! 
According    to    an    En 
Lady  Investigator  ;^p 


LONDON,  Dec.  29. — Mrs,  Marguerite 
Roby,  who  recently  spent  several 
mpriths  in  tha  Lower  Congo  region,  has 
/I'oturncd  from  a  visit  to  Brussels, 
iwiiore  tho  details  of  her  journey  have 
H»^cn  laid  before  tho  King  of  the  Bel- 
gians. Mrs.  Roby  does  not  represent 
Belgian  Interests  In  any  way,  but  she 
•is  convinced  that  tho  stories  of  crucl- 
tlos  to  the  natives,  as  far  as  the  Kasai 
district  is  concerned,  are  nialnly  un- 
foundad. 

"My  main  reason  for  going  oui  this 
time,"  sho  told  a  prefes  representative, 
"was  because  I  wished  to  investigate 
the  conditions  after  reading  Sir  .\. 
Conan  Doyle's  book,  'The  Crime  of  the 
Congo.'  I  went  right  through  the 
Kasai,  and  far  from  finding  tho  natives 
decimated  and  mutilated  by  the  rubber 
traders,  I  found  that  the  only  thing 
which  disturbed  the  district  was  the 
dreadful  disease  of  sleeping  sickness. 
That  has  been  working  havoc  with  the 
people,  for  the  last  twenty  years. 
Throughout  my  tjlp  of  three  and  a  half 
months  In  the  Kaaal  I  saw  no  signs  of 
famlno-strlcken,  unhappy  natives,  and 
in  no  village  was  it  Impossible  to  get 
food  for  my  sixty  or  seventy  porters. 
I  took  Sir  A.  Conan  Doyle's  book  with 
me,  and  investigated  the  allegations 
thoroughly. 

Absolutely  tTnfounded 

"I  believe  that  many  of  the  accusa- 
tions made  in  that  book  are  absolutely 
unfounded.  If  Sir  Arthur  Conan  Doyle 
Will  accompany  me  on  my  next  trip  in 
that  region,  I  am  convinced  that  ho 
would  change  his  views  on  the  question 
vory  much  Indeed.  In  the  TTpper  Congo 
the  Belgians  did  not  deny  tliat  cruelties 
wore  committed,  but  if  Sir  A.  Conan 
T:)oyle  wont  through  the  Kasai  with  me 
he  would,  I  am  quite  sure,  withdraw 
his    book    from    publication. 

"Dr.  Morrison,  the  groat  American 
missionary,  whom  1  met,  told  mo  that 
lie  had  ijovor  seen  natives  mutilated  or 
troclties  committed,  but,  like  the 
stay-at-liomo  people,  he  had  'heard.' 
Dr.  MorrU:on  said  that  he  would  be 
very  sorry  to  sec  any  other  flag  flying 
over  tho  country  than  that  already 
there,  and  ho  had  always  been  loyal  to 
tho  Bolglan  Government.  The  truth  of 
the  matter  Is  that  the  natives  will  not 
work,  and  the  stories  of  tho  people 
dying  from  the  offocts  of  cruelty  and 
famine  are  without  foundation,  so  far 
as  tho  Kasai  Is  concerned.  I  have 
known  of  cases  where  travelers  had  to 
wait  months  before  they  could  get  car- 
riers for  their  luggage,  while  there 
wore  plenty  of  men  about  doing  nothing 
and  able  to  'take  on  the  job.  But  they 
Iircfer    to    do   nothing. 

"Slooping  sickness  is  the  great  enemy 
of  tho  natives  of  tho  Kasai,  I  have 
seen  them  lying  Inside  and  outside  their 
huts,  men  and  women,  unable  to  help 
themselves,  sleeping  tholr  last  sleep." 

Referring  to  mission  work.  Miss  Roby 
said:  "Tho  average  missionary  has  a 
vory  good  time,  and  lives  Ir.  more  than 
comfort.  It  would  open  tho  oyos  of 
many,  perhaps,  to  bo  Inv'ltod  to  luncheon 
with  missionaries  and  to  find  the  table 
almost  as  good  as  at  any  first-class 
hotel   In   Europe."

LUNATICS  IN  LONDON 


true  aenae,  "curable"  cases.  ?here  is  a 
larce  and  Increaalnv  percentase  of 
caaea  In  which  there  is  an  unfavorable 
(prospect  of  recovery. 

The  following  atatement  by  the  med- 
ical auperintcndent  of  the  Banstaad 
Asylum  Indicates  that  in  the  asylum* 
th«  Inmates  can  still  enjoy  life;  "Thi 
usual  programme  of  amusements  has 
been  a  source  of  much  enjoyment  to 
both  patients  and  staff.  The  various 
amateur  dramiltlc  cluba  have  igiven  ex- 
cellent performance  of  popular  plays, 
and  the  Inclusion  of  a  number  of  pierrot 
troupes  In  the  list  of  entertainments 
has  proved  a  move  In  the  right  direc- 
tion. Perhaps  the  greatest  eticf.ess  of 
all  was  scored  by  our  own  asylum 
choir  in  two  dtillghtful  concerts  they 
gave    us." 

Of  3,000  patients  admitted  last  year 
800  are  assigned  as  hereditary  lunatics. 
Anothor  300  came  under  the  category 
of  "alcholic  heredity."  whilst  700  drank 
themselves  insane.  Trivatlon  and 
starvation    made    84    mad. 

A  table  as  to  the  occupation  of 
patients  reveals  Interesting  Information 
as  to  the  Incidonce  of  insanity  amongst 
those  who  work  with  their  hands  than 
those  who  iiso  their  brain.s.  i  >f  1,700 
womon  admitted  last  year  to  the 
asylums,  442  were  domestic  workers, 
and  934  of  no  occupation,  these  latter 
including  housewi ve.«t.  There  were  166 
in  the  "dres.H"  lndiistr>.  Only  46  wo- 
man placod  under  "iirofessional  occu- 
pations" can  be  said  to  be  brain  workers, 
all  the  olhors  being  persons  whoso  oc- 
cupations were  of  a  manual  nature.

Asylum's  Committee  Baport  lUioiva  That 

There    Is    Mora    Insanity    Amon|r 

Xiaborors   Than   Clarka. 

Tn  London's  ten  asylums  20,^29  luna- 
tics were  maintained  in  the  year  end- 
ed March  last,  according  to  the  report 
of  the  Asylums'  (,'ommlttee  of  the  Coun- 
ty Council,  Just  published,  says  Tho 
Standard.  Another  huge  asylum,  which 
will  cost  half  a  million,  is  now  being 
built,  for  lunacy  shows  no  sign  of  de- 
creaBlng,  though  the  average  yearly 
rate  of  increase  is  by  no  means  as  high 
as  it  once  was. 

There  is  not  yet  any  certain  cure 
for  lunacy,  and  the  report  shows  how 
much  difflculty  is  involved  in  the  duty 
of  discharging  patlent-a  and  how  great 
Is  the  responsibility  placed  upon  those 
who  ha^'e  yet  to  decide  whether  cases 
are  fit  for  discharge.  It  Is  often  hard 
to  decide  how  far  continued  detention 
la  Justified  in  the  case  of  an  apparent- 
ly cured  lunatic  when  It  Is  practically 
certain  that  on  his  entry  into  ordinary 
life  bis  unstable  mental  equilibrium 
will  speedily  become  unbalanced  again. 
or  in  the  case  of  a  feeble  minded,  who 
is  quiet  and  aipparently  bdhavea  r«- 
tlonally  so  long  as  he  is  subject  t«  the 
ordered  routine  of  an  institution,  but 
who,  ofice  he  is  outaide  and  expoaed  to 
the  common  lenjptatioria  and  Irritation* 
which  normal  individuals  can  overcome, 
will  ekhibit  unmistakable  evidence  of, 
hia  Aeficlency.  Appeals  from  fMenda 
and  conalderations  of  public  expensa 
alike  aro  apt  to  weigh  In  favor  of  dls- 
charire.  Experience,  '  !iow«y*r.  ahtvwa

raw  materials  are  used  and  the  weave  is  right. 

Here  are  some  lines  that  will  give  you  entire  satisfaction,  and  the  cost  of 
vour  garments  will  be  small  if  made  of  them.

large  stock  of  this  uretui  matrrtHl.  but

wp^&fm.^  tk®  Thames 


HE  presence  of  a  river  survey  boat 
in  the  upper  tidal   waters  of  the 
Thames  for  the  purpose  of  carry- 
ing out  a  fresli  survey  of  the  river 
bed  betv^een  Blackfriars  and  Ted- 
dington  serves  to  bring  before  the  eyes  of  the 
public  a"  valuable  though  little-known  branch  of 
the  Port  of  London  Authority's  manifold  activi- 
ties,  says   The   Times.      In    the   days   of   the 
Thames  Conservancy's  control  the  sounding  of 
the  river  was  prosecuted  in  a  somew-hat  hap- 
hazard fashion.      When  specific  circumstances 
arose  to  suggest  the  desirability  of  a  re-surVey 
of  some  part  of  the  channel,  the  work  was  done, 
and  done  well,  by  the  men  in  the  Conservancy's 
service.      Nevertheless  the  impracticalMlity  of 
maintaining  a  sufficient  staff,  with  the  neces- 
sary equipment,  and   the  absence  of  a  j^roper 
survey  department,  precluded  anything  in  the 
nature  of  a  complete  survey  of  the  tidal  river 
from  bank  to  bank  and  from,  tlie  sea  to  Ted- 
dington.     The  idea  of  periodical  surveys  at  in- 
tervals of  a  year  or  two,  so  far  as  it  existed  al 
all,  remained  an  unattainable  aspiration.      Yet 
it  is  obvious  that  only  in  this  way  can  a  jirecise 
knowledge  be  gained  of  change?,  occurring  in 
the  configuration  of  the  river  lied. 

Land   Subsidence 

"ForseveralTeasons  the  comprehensive  in- 


formation gathered  by  the  Survey  Ucpartment 
(luring  the  short  period  which  has  elapsed  since 
its  inception  in   u/x)  may  be  found  to  possess 
exceptional  value  in  the  near  future.      In  pur- 
suance of  the  resolve  to  ])rovide  a  channel  with 
a  minimum  of  30ft.  of  water  at  any  state  of  the 
tide  between  Gallions  and  the  sea,  five  powerful 
dredgers,  attended  by  21  steam  hoppers  of  from 
500  to  1,000  cubic  yard.<5'  capacity,  are  scooping 
up    the    ancient    bed    of    the  Thaines;    and    a 
powerful    suction-dredger    is    at    work    in    Sea 
Reach.     Who  can  foretell  the  effect  of  so  large 
a  displacement  of  material?      It  is  known  that 
the  Essex  shore  i«  guadually  sinking;   in  some 
places  a  sidisidence  amounting  to  as  much  as 
4in.  has  been  detected.     The  matter  is  of  such 
importance  that  a  detailed  survey  of  the  shore 
levels  is  being  undertaken  with  the  f>bject  of 
ascertaining  exactly   what   is   happening.      At 
present  the  cause  of  the  subsidence  is  bound  to 
be  a  subject  for  conjecture.     One  view  is  that  it 
is  the  natural  result  of  dumping  countless  tons 
of  London  refuse  on  the  Essex  marshes.     Year 
in,  year  out.  at  Pimlico  and  Vauxhall,  Lambeth 
and  Bankside,  the  collecting  carts  of  the  local 
authorities    discharge    their   loads   into   barges 
which  are  towed  doAvn  the  river  in  strings  and 
emptied  out  on  Essex.      Now,  if  Essex  were  a 
land-girt   county,   thd  effect  uporyihe  marshy 
,=ubsoil     might  perhaps  be  one  ojTsimple  com- 
pression.     As  the  land  lies,  however,  the  deep 
channel  of  the  river  offers  a  convenient  exit  for 
the  oppressed   m^r.S'h-soil,   which   is  guadually 
forced  out  into  the  Thames.      The  breaking  up 
of  the  ancient  crust  of  the  bed  by  the  dredgers 
facilitates   the   escape   by   providing  a  "^ort  of 
chimnev  or  inverted  .=  iphon,  up  which  tHe  soft 
soil  is  forced  from  belov,-.      This  hypothesis  is 
supported  b.i^ consideration  of  the  vast  quanti- 
ties rff  silt  which  are  continually  accumulating 
in  the  river  bed,  and  whiph  it  is  difficult  to  be- 
lieve can   be  merely   tl}c  product  jjf  precipita- 
tion from  the  Thames  water. 

Restrictions  of  the  Waterway 

It  is  not  always  realized  how  largely  the 
course  of  the  river  has  been  re.stricted  within 
living  memory.  The  several  "embankments 
have  stolen  much  ground  from  the  waters,  and 
quite  recently  the  new  County  Council  Hall  at 
the -pastern  end  of  Westminster  Bridge  and  the 
extension  of  the  Millbank  Gardens  to  Lambeth 
Bridge  have  occasioned  further  small  encroach- 
ments. Slight  as  may  be  the  displacement 
occasioned  by  each  separate  work,  the  cumula- 
tive effect  upon  the  behaviour  of  the  stream, 
and  consequently  upoii  the  conditions  of  navi- 
gation, cannot  be  ignored. 

From  the  waterman's  point  of  view,  which 
is    quite     different     from     the    landsman's,     a 
bridge  is,  in  the  first  place,  a  dam  to  hold  up 
the  water;  and4i^  the  second  place,  it  is  an  ob- 
stacle to  navigation.      The  rivermen   are  not 
concerned  with  the  roadway  which  the  bridge 
'    is    built   to    carry,    but    with    the    piers    wdiich 
carry  the  bridge.  *  The  piers,  by  holding  up 
the  water  and  retarding  its  escape  towards  the 
sea,  tend   to   regulate  the  level   of  the  upper 
tidal   river.      This    is    an    advantage    to'-iae 
waterman.     The  disadvantage  is  that  the  rel- 
ume   of  water    striving  to  pass    through    the 
restricted  channel  which  remains  to  it  devel- 
ops an  exceeding  swiftness  of  current:     Fur- 
ther, the  piers  are  in  the  way;   and  the  axiom 
that  the  fewer  the  .spans  the  better  the  bridge 
is  still  true,  so  far  as  the  navigation  of  the 
river  is  concerned.      It  is  recorded  that  when 
old  London  Bridge  was  taken  down,  with  its 
Ttniltitude   of   tiny    arches,   the    water    fell    so 
much  as  4j^ft.,  which  was'  the  difference  be- 
tween the  levels  above  and  below  the  bridge. 
The   impetuous   rush   of  tlTe   Spring  tides   in 
these  narrow  waters  is  graphically  shown  by^ 
the  charts  of  the  automatic  tide-recorder  now 
established  at  Old  Swan  Pier,  in  addition  to 
those  at  Tilbury  and  Southend ;    and  if  any- 
body desires  a  personal  acquaintance  willj  the 
conditions  now  prevailing  thereabouts,  let  him 
tike  a  skiff  down  to  the  Tower  and  try  to  hold 
It  to  tht  curr«nt  during  the  first  hour  of  tht 
Spring  ebb.     Even  under  old  Vauxhall  Bridgt 
the  V^ter  ran  down  in  an.  inclined  plane  3ft. 
higll^r  lit  one  side  of  the  brklg^  than  *t  th€ 
othfet,  and  there  were  three  dififr^ttt  ICIS  of 
ti^e  durinic  th«  course  of  «very  ebb,  aceording 
to  the  tev«l  of  th*  water. 

In  tH«  nvnt  future  the  new  Panf  a  BrHlgia  ti 


Southwark  and  Blackfriars.  and  Southwark 
Bridge  is  to  be  rebuilt.  This  will  make  six 
bridges  crowded  into  less  than  a  mile  of  river 
--London  Bridge,  Cannon-street,  Southwark, 
Paul's,  Blackfriars  railway,  and  Blackfriars. 
Those  who  have  the  interests  of  river  naviga- 
tion most  at  heart  view  the  prospect  with  con- 
cern. The  unwritten  law  of  the  Thames  that 
two  bridges  shall  never  be  under  repair  at  one 
and  the  same  time  is  sufficient  testimony^  to 
the  impediment  which  such  operations  offer 
to  traffic.  The  expert  advice  of  the  Survey 
Department  should  be  of  great  assistance  in 
future  l)ridgc-bui](ling  operations. 

The  Taking  of  Soundings 
Since  Captain  Dawson,  R.N.,  was  ap- 
I)ointed  Chief  Marine  Surveyor  to  the  Port  of 
London  .Authority  in  January,  1909.  surveys 
arc  made  with  a  thoroughness  and  frequency 
whicli  a  few  years  ago  would  have  liecn 
deemed  impossilde.  For  the  critical  readies 
between  Blackwall  Point  and  .Mucking  Light 
tlic  endeavor  is  to  complete  a  fresh  set  of 
soundings  every  12  months;  for  the  upper 
tidal  river  a  period  of  two  years  is  deemed 
sufficient.  Practically  speaking,  the  eniiri- 
bed  of  the  Thames,  from  Teddington  to  the 
sea,  is  re-mapped  every  18  months.  The  ta.s'k 
is  a  gigantic  one,  involving  an  enormous  num-

and  the  results  of  their  daily  labors  are  sent  in

The  Canadian  Northern  Pacific  Railway,    on  its  way  out  of  Victoria,  will  pa.'^s  under 
this  bridge,  following  the  ravine  in  the  direction  of  the  Saanich  Road. 


Conservancy.  In  the  Chief  Marine  Surveyor's 
office  at  the  top  of  the  house  the  figures-  pro- 
perly adjusted  to  the  state  of  the  tide  at  the 
time  and  place  of  sounding  are  transferred  by 
draughtsmen  to  huge  maps.  That  some  of 
these  are  i6ft.  in  length  is  not  surprising  when 
the  scale  is  considered — 5ft.  to  the  mile  be- 
tween Blackwall  and  Mucking  Light,  and 
6.9in.  between  Mucking  and  the  sea.  When 
the  maps  are  complete,  copies  are  sent  to  the 
Admiralty,  who  take  from  tR'Sm-^uch  sound- 
ings as  may  be  needed  for  the  revision  of  the 
Admiralty  charts. 

in  the  deeper  waters  below  bridge  sound- 
ings   are    taken   with    the    lead,  a   phosphor- 
bronze   wire  .bein^s^used   because   of  its   non- 
stretching  quality.      In   shallower  waters   the 
lead   is   exch;»flged   for   a  30ft.   abounding   pole 
made  of  painted  ^od,  on  which  the  feet  and 
inches  are  n^arktd  i^i.  white.     The  survey  boat 
is   in   charge  of  a  surveyor  wh*     notes  each 
sounding  in  his  book,  with  its  Position.      He 
is  assisted  by  a  second  sur^yol,  whose  duty 
is  to  manipulate  -the '.sextant  wlth>'-which  the 
position  of  the  boat  is  checked  by  angles  ob- 
served from  fixed  points  on  shore.  On  the  fore- 
shores, or  where  the  river  is  narrow  enough, 
a  quicker  method  is  adopted.  _  A  line  marked 
oflf  into  loft.  lengths  and  between  200ft.  and 
300ft.  long  is  carried  in  the  boat.     One  end  is 
taken  ashore  by  an  a.ssistant  or  pas^d  up  to 
him  on  the  bank;   then,  while  this  man  holds 
the  line  fast  at  one  of  the  regular  sounding- 
marks,  the    boat    pulls    slowly    out  into  the 
stream.      As    it    goea,    a    linesman   standing 
araidfthips  t»*y8  out  the  line,  calHrig  the  lengths

HE  eye  is  an  organ  too  precious 
to  be  trifled  with.    We  may  help 
to  keep  it  sound  and  strong  by 
attention  to  the  general  welfare  of 
the  body — by  work,  rest,  play  and 
sleep^  as  well  as  by  exercise,  wise  feeding,  and 
regular   removal   of   the   wastes;  but   besides 
this  it   needs  special   attention.     Our  posture 
during  work,  the  light  under  which  we  work, 
paper,  printing,   dust,   smoke,  and   fumes,  the 
fatigue  of  sigbt-seeing — all  have  their  effects 
upon  it.    This  is  the  message  of  an  article  by 
Dr.  Leonard  Keene  Hirshberg  in  Good  Light- 
ing (New  York,  December).     What  is  the  best 
artificial    light?      Dr.    Hirshberg    thinks    that 
probably  no  one  kind  is  best  for  all  purposes. 
For  general  illumination  of  public  squares  and 
buildings   the   electric    light   seems   to  be   pre- 
ferred.    The   same   thing   is   probably   true   of 
private   houses.      For   reading  and    for   micro- 
scopic work,  electric  light  may  be  too  bright, 
although    this   objection   can   be   overcome   by 
using  lamps   of  low   candlepow^er.   at   suitable 
distance,  or  by   means  of  ground  glass.     1  he 
same  thing  may  he  true  of  the  light  yielded  by 
any    incandescent    solid,    such    as    the    "lime" 
light  and  the  various  "mantles"  madb^-from  in- 
combustible  earths.      In   general,   for   reacl-hrg,^ 
,1   "snft"   light    is   best,   and   it   is   desirable   to 

have  the  larger  part  of  t'he  lighL-CQ.nie  to.the 

book  by  reflection  from  the  walls  of  the  room 
rather  'than  solely  and  directly  from  any 
source  of  light  near  by.  For  this  reason,  dark- 
colored  walls  are  objectionable.  To  fiuocc  fur- 
ther   in    substance: 

"The  ease  with  which  the  details  of  an  ob- 
ject are  seen  depends  chiefly  on  contrasts  of 
shade  and  color.  As  the  light  fades  in  the 
evening,  the  white  paper  of  .a  printed  page 
becomes  darker  and  darker,  until  finally  it  re- 
flects to  the  eye  little  more  light  than  the 
Idack  ink  of  the  printed  letters,  which  con- 
sequentlv  no  longer  stand  out  clear  and  dis- 
tinct. In  order,  to  admit  all  the  light  .pos- 
.sible,  tUe  pupil  enlarges,  and  in  so  doing  les- 
sens the  distinctness  of  the  retinal  image; 
more  important  than  this,  we  hold  the  page 
closer  to  the  eye.  thereby  enlarging  the  re- 
tinal image  and  increasing  the  intensity  of 
stimulation,  but  throwing  far  more  work  upon 
the  pupillary  muscle  to  focus  for  the  near  ob- 
ject. All  of  these  unfavorable  conditions 
taken  together  place  undue  strain  upQn  the 
mechanism    of    accomuKxlatiou. 

"Hardly  less  objectionable  is  excessive  il- 
Inmination  of  an  object.  After  /  certain  in- 
tensity of  light  is  reached,  the  retina  no  longer 
responds  to  increase  of  stimulation  w/ith  in- 
crease of  visual  reaction.  To  apply  this  prin- 
ciple, we  have  only  to  remember  that  a  printed 
letter  is  not  absolutely  'dead  black.'  but  re- 
flects some  light.     When   the  illumination   is 


moderate  this  reflected  light  hardly  affects 
the  retina  at  all,  and  the  contrast  between  the 
black  letter  and  the  white  paper  is  marked. 
As  the  intensity  of  illumination  increases,  con- 
trast is  lessened  and  sharper  accommodation 
as  v/ell  as  closer  attention  is  needed  to  see 
distinctly. 

"The  use  of  fine  type  .should  be  reduced. to 
a  minimum,  because  it  necessitates  greater 
effort  of  accommodation  and  intensifies  all  the 
evils  of  improper  illumination.  Any  printed 
niattei  w'hich  must  be  held  less  than  eighteen 
inches  from  the  eye  in  order  to  see  clearly  i-* 
undesirable  for  long-continued  reading.  Espe- 
cially   is   this   true   in    youth. 

"Closely  connected  with  the  size  of  the 
type  is  the  character  of  the  paper  on  which  it 
is  jirinted.  This  should  be  as  dull  as  possible 
in  order  to  avoid  the  confusing  effect  of  a 
-flossy  surface.  ^The  use  of  highly  calendered 
].)aper  in  njany  books  and  serial  publications, 
because  such  paper  lends  itself  more  readily 
to  the  reproduction  of  pictures  in  half-tone,  is 
a  sacrifice,-of  hygienic  considerations  to  cheap- 
ness,     y 

"The  source  of  illumination  for  near  work 
sho(uld   be   as   free   as   possible   from   unsteadi- 
ness   or    flicker,    since    a    flickering    light    ne- 
cessitates  the   most   accurate   accommodation. 
A   'student's  lamp,'   'tungsten   burner,'   or  'in- 

-candescent  electric  lamp  is  preferable  in  tjiis 

respect  to  candles,  gas-jets,  and  arc-lights  for 
near  work. 

"For  the  same  reason  caution  is  demanded, 
in  the  matter  of  reading  on  railroad  trains. 
American  railway  trains  have  recently  become 
so  heavy,  and  the  roadbed  and  rails  have  been 
so  much  improved  in  various  ways,  that  the 
danger  of  reading-  or  writing  while  traveling 
by  rail  is  much  less  than  formerly.  At  the 
same  time  the  danger  .still  exists,  and  reading 
on  many  railway  and  trolley  cars  i.s  still  to  be 
done  with  caution,  or,  better  still,  avoided  al- 
together. 

"Microscopes,    telescopes    and    other    opti- 
cal   instruments   require   close   and   sometimes 
continuous  use  of  one  or  both  eyes,  and  are 
popularly   supposed   to  be  'hard  on  the  eyes.' 
But*this'is  not  necessarily  the  case,  except  for 
beginners    and   investigators.     Optical   instru- 
ments are  easily  focused,  and,  if  care  be  taken 
to   provide   good   lighting,   routine   work   with 
them  need  not  be  specially  trying  to  the  eyes. 
"Finally,  it  must  not  be  forgotten  that  the 
eyes  are  too  precious  to  be  trifled  with,  and 
that  if  one  has  sore  or  weak  eyes,  or  pain  in 
the  eyes,  or  can  not  see  clearly  to  read  or  to 
write,    or'can    not    plainly    distinguish   things 
near  or  at  a  distance,  then  it  is  always  best 
to      consult      an      oculist       or       the       family 
physician    for   advice.     Remedies   or    doctors 
puffed   in    generally   high-sounding^^advertise- 
ments  should  be  carefully  avoided." 


THE   WIND'S   TALES 

At  night,  when  everything  is  still, 
The  wind  it  speaks  so  loud  and  shrill. 
And  tells  the  strangest  tales  to  me, 
I  wonder  how  such  things  can  be. 

It  says  the  moon  man  comes  at  night, 
And  walks  the  streets  till  morning  light, 
Then  when  he  can  no  longer  stay 
He  goes  home  by  the  Milky  Way. 

It  says  a  black  and  ugly  bear 
Is  living  on  our  dark  hall  stair 
To  chase  me  up  to  bed  at  night. 
Though  never  yet  has  caught  me  quite. 

And,  oh!  the  very  worst  of  all. 
It  says  the  grey  bat  on  the  wall 
At  night  creeps  underneath  the  sheet, 
To  nibble  at  my  tired  feet. 

The  wind  it  tells  strange  tales  to  nie, 
I  wonder  if  they  true  can  be.

The  life  history  of  Greece,  as  it  influenced 
her  architecture,  was  the  fascinating  subject 
of  Mr.  Banister  Fletcher's  Thursday  lecture  at 
the  British  Museum.  He  pointed  e^  that 
while  the  mountains  divided  the  people  into 
clans  in  the  plaihs,  the  sea  united  them  in  col- 
onizing and  commerce.  For  us  it  is  easy  to 
realize  the  influence  of  the  sea.  Natural  har- 
bors, an  extensive  seaboard,  and  innumerable

It    is    difficult   to    realize    that   the   re-fined 
beauty  of  the  Ionic  temples  was  developed  out 
of  the  Greek  spirit  from   the  cyclopaean  ma- 
sonry   of    Crete    and     Mykanae.      "Wall-girt" 
Tyryus,  keeping  watch  over  the  sea;  Mykenae, 
with  her  "Gate' of  Lions"  in  her  mountain  hol- 
low above  the  Argive  Plain  ;  the  walls  of  Troy, 
on  the  great  trade  route  in  .'\sia  to  the  west — 
all  seem  to  have  been  built  to  protect  the  mer- 
chandise and  police  the  roads.     The  Treasury 
of  Atreus.  below  Mykenae,  one  of  the  beehive 
tombs,  has  special  interest  for  us,  because  its 
entrance   columns   have   been    pieced   together 
in  the  British  Museum.     Drs.  SchliemaUn  and 
Dorpfeld  long  ago  unearthed  these  fortressed 
cities  and  traced  the  successive  cities  of  Troy, 
built  one'^over  the  other,  each  in  increasing  size. 
The  lecturer  then  referred  to  Crete  and  her

LONDON  DERELICTS 

London  has  undertaken  to  clear  the  metro- 
politan area  of  the  waifs  and  derelicts,  tramps, 
wanderers,  broken  and  unemployed  men  and 
beggars  who  have  made  some  of  its  streets 
pictures  of  destitution  at  night.  The  embank- 
ment is  the  first  section  to  be  cleaned  up. 
There  is  to  be  no  more  sleeping  on  the  benches 
there.  When  a  constable  finds  a  tramp  or 
homeless  man,  the  man  will  be  shunted  into  an 
office  to  be  opened  by  the  Metropolitan  Asy- 
lums Board.  He  will  be  given  a  ticket  to  a 
lodging  house  or  shelter,  and  he  will  spend  the 
next  day  "in  some  healthy  occupation  to  pay 
for  his  board  and  lodging." 

Gradually  the  scope  of  the  order  will  be 
widened  until  all  the  metropolitan  district  is 
included.  What  London  is  about  to  under- 
ta-ke,  it  .seems,  is  the  care  of  its  unemployed 
after  a  fashion.  All  a  man  has  to  do  is  to  go 
to  sleep  oil  a  bench  on  the  embankment  and 
he  gfets  employment  for  one  day  at  least. — Chi-

TO  KEEP  HUSBANDS  STRAIGHT 


,.^-^: 


A  gem  of  science  that  reaches  us  from 
Morocco  tells  us  how  wives  may  compel  Iheir 
husbands  to  retrace  the  footsteps  that  even 
in  the  hpme  of  the  brave  will  sometimeii  wan- 
der from  the  straight  and  narrow  path  of  con- 


in   the  .skin  between   her  eyebrows.     To  this 

must  be  added  a  pinch  of  earth  from  the  print 

of  her  bare  right  foot  on  the  ground,  and  the 

whole  dose  should  then  be  put  into  the  erring 

husband's  breakfast  food  when  he  isn't  look- 

ino-.     The   women    of   Morocco   say   that   this 

charm  never  fails,  and  they  ought  to  know.—

Some  Difference 

The  boisterous  and  unfeeling  conduct  of 
the  crowd  certainly  annoyed  Sheriff  Harbur- 
ger  the  night  that  he  stopped  the  fight  be- 
twen  Jim  Stewart  and  Gunboat  Smith.  Mr. 
StevVart  was  approaching  the  land  of  dreams 
wdien  Mr.  Harburger  inserted  himself  between 
the  ropes  and  utterly  destroyed  that  sporting 
event.  The  spectators  did  not  sympathize 
with  the  sheriff,  and  Mr.  Hamburger  became 
petulant.     He  held  up  his  hand  for  silence. 

"Shoosh,"  said  he,  with  dignity.  "I  am 
the  sheriff."  . 

"What  sheriff?"  asked  a  ribald  youth  m 
the  topmost  gallery  at  Madison  Square  Gar- 
den.    "Sheriff  Street?" 

"No,"  said  Mr.  Harburger,  with  compos- 
ure. '"Sheriff  Street  is  a  thoroughfare.  I  am 
an  official."— Judge.

Senator  La  Follette  was  talking  about  a 
political  boss,  who  seemed,  for  all  his  boasts 
of  clean-headkdpess,  to  be  a  little  soiled  and 
spotted.  "He  says  he's  an  anti-copcsiption- 
ist,"  remarked  Senator  La  FoUette,  smiling, 
"but  I  suppose  he  means  that  he's  not  a  big- 
oted anti-corruptionist.  A  drummer  heard  an. 
eloquent  temperance  lecture  one  night  in  the 
town  hall  of  Nola  Chucky,  and  an  hour  later 
at  the  Nola  Chucky  Hotel  the  drummer  saw 
this  same  identical  temperance  lecturer  drink- 
ing, one  after  another,  whiskey  with  i)cer 
chasers  at  the  bar.  "Why,  how's  this?"  the 
drummer  Claimed.  "I  thought  you  were  a

completely  on  their  guard,  and  thus  was  fatal 
to  ihe   plans  of  the  assailants.

rived  at  the  lllc-aux-Xaffei^'=^?S»!hence  Schttyw 
and  Montgomery  scattered,  ia;  proclamation 
.-imong  the  Canadians,  stating  that  they  came 
only  against  tlie  I'.ritish.  and  had  no  designs 
whatever  on  the  lives,  the  properties  or  re- 
ligion of  the  inhabitants.  General  Schuyler 
V%being  unwell,  now  returned  to  .Albany,  and 
\|ie  chief  command  devolved  on  Montgomery, 
who.  having  received  a  reinforcement,  invest- 
ed Fort  St.  John  on  the  17th,  and  at  the  same 
time  sent  some  troops  to  attack  the  fort  at 
Chambly.  while  Ethan  Allan  was  dispatched 
with  a  reconnoitering  party  towards  Montreal. 
.Mian  accordingly  proceeded  to  the  St.  Law- 
rence, and  being  informed  that  the  town  was 
weakly  defended,  and  believing  the  inhabi- 
tants were  favorable  to  the  Americans,  he  re- 
solved to  capture  it  by  surprise,  although  hi.- 
force  was  under  two  hundred  men.  General 
Carlcton  had  already  arrived  at  Montreal  to 
make  disposition  for  the  protection  of  the 
frontier.  Learning  on  the  night  of  the  24th 
that  a  party  of  .Americans  had  c^^ossed  the 
river  and  were  marching  on  the  town,  he 
promptly  drew  together  two  hundred  and  fifty 
of  the  local  militia,  chiefly  English  and  Irish,  ■ 
and  with  thirty  men  of  t'he  Twenty-sixth  Regi- 
ment, in  addition,  .prepared  for  its  defence. 
Allan,  however,  instead  of  proceeding  to  at- 
tack Montreal,  becoming  intimidated,  took 
possession  of  some  houses  and  barns  in  the 
neighborhc^ui,  where  he  was  surrounded  next 
day  and  compelled  to  surrender  after  a  loss 
of  five  killed  and  ten  wounded.  The  British 
lost  their  commanding  officer.  Major  Carsden, 
Alexander  Paterson,  a  merchant  of  Montreal, 
and  two  privates.  .Mian  and  his  men  were 
.sent  prisoners  to  England,  where  they  were 
confined    in    Pcndennis   Castle. 

On  the  1 2th.  Colonel  M'Clean,  who  had  re- 
treated from  Sorcl.  arrived  at  Quebec,  with  a 
body  of  Eraser's  Highlanders,  who  had  set- 
tled" in  the  country,  were  now  re-embodied,  and 
amounted  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  men.  In 
addition  to  these  there  were  four  hundred  and 
eighty  Canadian  militia,  five  hundred  British, 
and  some  regular  troops  and  seamen  for  the 
defence  of  the  town. 

On  the  19th,  to  the  great  joy  of  the  garri- 
son. General  Carlcton  arri\'ed  from  Montreal, 
bringing  down  with  -liim  two  armed  schooners 
which  had  been  lying  at  Three  Rivers.  One  of 
his  first  measures  was  to  strengthen  the  hands 
of  the  loyalists,  by  ordering  those  liable  to 
serve  in  the  militia,  and  who  refused  to  be  en- 
rolled, to  quit  the  city  within  four- days.  V>y 
this  means  several  disaffected  persons  were 
got  rid  of,  and  the  garrison  was  speedily  raised 
to  eighteen  hundred  men.  who  had  plenty  of 
provisions   for  eight   mon-ths. 

On  December  ist,,jVlontgomery  joined  Ar- 
nold at  Point-aux-Trembles,  when  their  united 
forces,  amounting  to  about  two  thousand  men, 
proceeded  to  attack  Quebec,  in  t.he  neighbor- 
liood  of  which  they  arrived  on  the  4th,  and 
soon  after  quartered  their  men  in 'the  houses 
of  the  suburbs.  Montgomery  now  sent  a  flag 
to  summon  the  besieged  to  surrender,  but  this 
was  fired  upon  by  order  of  General  Carleton, 
who  refused  to  Imld  any  intercourse  with  the 
American  officers.  Highly  indignant  at  this 
treatment,  the  besiegers  proceeded  to  construct 
their  batteries,  although  the  weather  was  in- 
tensely cold.  Rut  their  artillery  was  too  light 
to  make  any  impression  on  the  fortification, 
the  fire  from  which  cut  their  fascines  to  pieces 
and  dismounted  their  guns;  so  Montgomery 
determined  to  carry  \.\\t  works  by  escalade. 
He  accordingly  assembled  his  men  on  Decem- 
ber 30  and  made  them  a  very  imprudent 
speech,  in  which  he  avowed  his  resolution  of 
attacking  the  city  by  storm.  A  deserter  car- 
ried the  intelligence  ol  his  intention  that  very 
day  to  General  Carleton.  who  made  the  neces- 
sary preparations  for  defence.  On  the  night 
of  the  3i9t  the  garrison  picket.*  were  on  the 
alert.  Nbthing.  however,  of  importance  oc- 
curred till  next  morning,  when  Captain  Eraser, 
the  field  officer  on  duty,  on  going  his  rounds, 
perceived  some  susfpicious  signals  at  St.  John's 
Gate,  and  immediately  turned  oat  the  guard, 
when  a  bri.sk  fire  was  opened  by  a  body  of  the 
enemy,  concealed  by  a  snow  bank.  This  was 
a  mere  feint  to  draw  off  attention  from  the  true 
poliiti  oi  »tu^,  at  the  adttthtot  «ui  nordwm

little  later  a  large  body  of  troops  arrived 
from  England  under  the  command  of  Major- 
General  Burgoyne.  Brigadier  Eraser  was  at 
once  sent  on  by  the  Governor  with  the  first 
division  to  Three  Rivers.  While  the  troops 
still  'remained  on  board  their  transix)rts  off 
this  place.  General  Thompson  advanced  with 
eighteen  liundred  men  to  surprise  the  town, 
and  would  have  effected  his  object  had  not  one 
of  ills  Canadian  guides  e-^caped  and  warned 
the  British  of  his  approach.  General  Eraser 
immediately  landed  his  troops,  with  scxcral 
field-pieces,  and  posted  them  so  ad\'antageous- 
Iv  that  the  .Americans  were  speedilv  defeated, 
their  general,  his  second  in  command,  and  l'i\c 
hundred  men  made  jjrisoners,  while,  the  retreat 
of  their  main  body  being  cut. off-,  they  were 
compelled  to  take  shelter  ii,i  a  wood  full  of 
swamps.  Here  they  remained  in  great  dis- 
tress till  the  following  da}-,  when  General 
Carleton.  who  had  meanwhile  come  up  hu- 
manely drew  the  guard  from  the  bridge  o\cr 
^  the  Riviere  du  Loup,  and  allowed  them  to 
escape  toward  Sorel.  Finding  themselves  un- 
able to  oppose  the  force  advancing  against 
them,  the  American  army,  imdcr  Sullivan,  re- 
treated to  Crown  Point,  whither  Arnold  also 
retired  from  Montreal  on  June  15.  Thus  ter- 
mitiated  the  invasion  of  Canada,  which  pro- 
duced no  advantage  to  the  .\merican  cause, 
but.  on  the  contrary,  aroused  the  hostility  of 
ihe  inhabitants  and  drew  ihcm  closer  to  C'reat 
Britain.  ,_      — John    -McMullcn.

Recent  excavations  at  Memphis  brought 
to  light,  along  with  a  number  of  domestiv 
utensils,  five  little  .cymbals  about  five  inches 
in  diameter.  That  these  instruments,  as  the 
Musical  News'ob.serves,  were  much  used  in 
Egypt,  is  proven  by  the  mural  paintings  and 
carvings  in  the  tombs.  As  an  instance  of 
moderns  and  ancients  joining  hands,  there  is 
an  effective  part  written  for  cymbals  of  this

My  student  days  in  Leipsic  are  full  of  mem- 
ories of  the  well-known  musicians  and  pro- 
fessors who  were  gathered  there  at  the  time, 
writes  Sir  Frederick  Cowen  in  The  London 
World.  There  was  Moscheles  (who  had  known 
Beethoven  and  had  been  the  intimate  friend 
of  Mendelssohn),  with  his  .great  planistic  gifts 
and  his  many  little  peculiarities,  such  as  al- 
ways measuring  to  a  nicety — even  to  a  single 
sheet  of  music — the  exact  height  of  the  stool 
or  chair  on  which  he  sat  at  the  piano,  etc. 
There  was  the  great  theorist.  Hauptmann, 
who.se  habit  of  continually  taking  snuff  while 
he  corrected  our  counterpoint  and  fugues 
caused  him  often  to  get  so  confused  between 
the  two  otcupations  that  he  indiscriminately 
applied  the  ink  to  his  nose  and  the  snuff  to 
the  music  paper.  (The  scent  is  still  strong  on

made  up  his  mind'lo  stop  inventing  when  he 
reached  the  age  of  sixty,  is  now  at  sixty-live 
just  as  active  a  genius  as  ever.  He  is  most 
keenly  interested  just  now  in  music,  and  is 
spending  most  of  his  time  in  trying  l<)  evolve 
some  means  of  giving  the  best  operatic  music 
with  its  accompanying  action  to  the  masses. 
He  thinks  he  can  coml)ine  the  phonograjm, 
or  talking-machine,  with  the  moving  jMcture, 
so  that  a  complete  grand  opera  or  play  can  l;c 
performed  satisfactorily.  Said_  Mr.  liklison, 
in   an    interview   with    Musical    America: 

"The  time  is  coming  when  the  actors  arfti 
singers  will  perform  in  ''phonograph  studios 
instead  bf  in  the  theatre,  and  instead  of  an 
audience  of  a  thousand  (jr  so  the  entire  world 
will  furnish  the  audience.  It  costs  $6  a  seat 
to  hear  and  see  a  grand  opera  performance. 
Naturally  only  a  limited  "number  can  attend 
each  performance.  The  poor  man  is  barred. 
Why  should  the  opera  singers  and  the  great 
actors 
shoulc 
millions?  "     '  ' " 

"The' talking-machine  and  the  moving  pic- 
ture in  sNuchrony  wil  make  this  possible,  and 
it  will  not  co.sji  much  either.  Before  long  it 
will  be  possible  to  give  an  entire  act  of  drama 
or  opera  on  the  phonograph.

<Si  From  the  New  Testament 

Si.   Luke  ii. 

And  when  eight  days  were  accomplished 
for  the  circumcising  of  the  child,  his  name  was 
called  Jesus,  wdiich  was  so  named  of  the  angel 
before  he  was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

.\nd  when  the  days  of  her  purification  ac- 
cording to  the  law  of  Moses  were  accom- 
plished, they  brought  him  to  Jerusalem  to 
present  him  to  the  Lord. 

And  to  offer  a  sacrifice  according  to  that 
which  is  said  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  a  j^air  of 
turtle  doves  or  two  young  pigeons. 

And  behold  there  was  a  man  in  Jerusalem 
whose  name  was  Simeon,  and  the  same  man 
was  just  an<l  devout,  waiting  for  the  consola- 
tion of  Israel;  and  the  Holy  Ghost  was  upon 
himi         1 

And  it  was  revealed  unto  him  that  he  should 
not  see  death  before  he  had  seen  the  Lord's 
Christ.  .  „.        , 

And  he  canieby ^thc  Spirit  into  the  temple ; 
and  when  the  parents  brought  in  the  child 
Testis  to  do  for  him  Mcording  to  the  l»Wr 


data  desires  love  not  gold  from  Upagupta." 
But  Upagupta  made  the  same  enigmatical  re- 
l)ly  as  before,  and  did  nor  com'e. 

.A  few  months  later  Vasavadata  had  a  love 
intrigue  with  the  chief  of  the  artizans,  and  at 
that   lime   a    wealthy    merchant   came   to   Ma- 
thura,  who  fell  in  love  with  Vasavadata.     See- 
ing his  wealth  and  fearing  the  jealousy  of  h^r 
other   lover,   she   contrived   the   deaths   of   the 
chief  of  the  artizans  and   hid  his  body  away. 
P)iit    the   friends   and   relatives  of  the  arti- 
zan    searched    for    him    and    found    his    body, 
Vasavadata,  tried  by  a  judge,  was  condemned 
to  have  'her  hands  and  feet,  her  ears  and  nose 
cut  off,  and   herself  flung  into  -^  grave  yard. 
Vasavadata  had  been  a  passionate  girl,  but 
kind  to  her  servants,  and  one  of  her  maids  fol- 
lowed her,  and  for  love  of  her  former  mistress,  ' 
ministered  unto  her  agonies  and  chased  away 
the  crows. 

Xow  the  time  had  arri\-cd  when   Upagupta 
decided  U)  visit  Vasavadata. 

When  he  came  the  poor  woman  ordered  her 
maid  to  hide  her  severed  limbs  under  a  cloth; 
and  Ive  greeted 'her ,  kindly,  Init  she  said  with 
petulance:  "Once  this  body  was  fragrant  like 
the  lotus  and  1  offered  you  my  iove.  In  those 
day^Tl  w^as  covered  with  pearls  and  fine  linen. 
Now  1  am  mangled  by  the  cxcculi^)ner  ..." 
"vSister,"  said  the  youii^  man, "it  is  not  for 
m\-  |)leasitre  that  I  approach  you.  It  is  to  re- 
store to  you  a  nobler  beauty  than  that  which 
you  have  lost.  I  have  seen  with  mine  eyes  the 
Tathagata  walking  the  earth  and  teaching 
the  Avonderful  doctrine.  But  you  would  not 
have^listened^  toi  the  words  of  righteousness 
while  surrounded  b'y  temptations,  while  under 
the  spell  of  passion  and  yearning  for  worldly 
]dea.sures.  You  vviMiUl  not  have  listened  to  the 
teachings  of  the  Tatlu^gata,  for  your  heart  was

have  found  in  the  restless  world  of  sinful  pleas- 
ures." ^  ~  ^■~ 
Vasavadata  became  calm  and  a  spiritual 
happiness  soothed  the  tortures  of  her  bodily 
pain  ;  for  where  thete  is  much  suffering  there 
is  also  great  bli^flt*"' 

Having  taken  refuge  in  the  Buddha,  the 
Dharma  and  the  Sangha,  she  died  in  pious  sub- 
mission to  the  punishment  of  her  crime. 


From  the  Vedantic  Philosophy 

The  Highest  Lord  is  to  be  understood  as  the 
Self  (in'  us),  for  in  treating  of  the  Highest 
Lord  the  Gabalas  take  Him  as  the  Self  (in  us), 
saying:  "Indeed,  I  am  thou,  O  Holy- Deity, 
and  thou  art  1,  O  Deity. 

"This  is  the  Self  which  is  within  all. 

"He  is  thy  Self,  t'he  inward  ruler,  the  im- 
mortal. 

"Whoever  worships  another  god,  thinking 
He  is  one,  and  1  am  another,  he  does  not 
know. 

"He  goes  from  death  to  death  who  sees 
diversity  here. 

'^Whosoever  looks  for  anything  elsewhere 
than  in  the  Self,  is  abandoned  by  everything." 

Sankara  says:  "For  we  do  not  understand 
that  the  Lord  is  the  temporal  Self,  but  what  we 
wish  to  establish  is  tjiat  the  temporal  Self,  if 
divested  of  its  temporal  character,  is  the.  Self 
of  the  Lord." 

"All  this."  writes  Max  Muller.  "is  not  meant 
as  an  apotheosis  of  man  in  the  Greek  sense  ;0f 
the  word,  but  if  I  may  form  such  a  word,  as  aft 
Anatheosis,  a  return  of  map  into  the  divittW  na- 
ture. The  German  mystics  have  clearly  diis- 
tinguished  between  these  two  acts,  by  calling 
the  former  Vergotterung  and  the  latter  "Vergot- 
tung;  and  while  they  would  consider  the  for- 
mer as  blasphemous,  they  look  upon  the'Ut^f 
as  only  anotler  expression  for  divine  toilft^^r 
the,!|i«|if»t  4w»  of  theteH|fion  ot.fh^gy^

TALES    OF    ANCIENT    CIVILIZATIONS 

Stories  of  Old  Rom« 

Aflcr  the  death  uf  Remus,  Romulus  be- 
came greatly  depressed,  and  it  was  <omc  time 
before  he  had  tlie  heart  to  go  on  with  the 
building  of  his  city,  and  this  was  not  until 
after  he  had  perfornied  numerous  funeral  ob- 
sequies, and  had  set  u])  an  enifity  thnme  be- 
side his  own.  signifying  that,  though  dead. 
Kcmus    still    reigned   beside   him. 

Tlu'  birthday  of  Rome,  Plutarch  tells  us, 
was  the  2lst  of  April,  and  all  good  Romans 
for  many  centuries  lietd  the  day  holy,  not 
])ermitting  even  a  sacrifice,  desiring  to  kcc]) 
the  feast  a  stainless  one.  iS'iebuhr  describes 
I  he  colony  of  ancient  Rome  as  consisting  of 
all  manner  of  people,  thieves,  vagabonds,  mui:- 
dercrs  an4  ,srjimua.l^^  every  kind,,  as  Ronm- '

scllors  and  the  senate,  who  were  fttsi^led-lih* 
patricians,  were  known  as  the  people.  Some  ' 
historians  say  that  the  patricians  were  so  called 
because  they  were  the  fathers  of  lawful  chil- 
dren, others  "because  they  could  give  a  good 
account- of  who  their  fathers  were,  which  not 
cverv  one  of  the  rabble  which  poured  into  the 
city  at  first  could  do;  but,"  continues  .Plu- 
tarch. "po!lia[)s  the  nio-t  probable  judgment 
might  be.  that  Romulus,  esteeming  it  the  duty 
of  the  chiefcst  and  wealthiest  of  the  men-, 
with  a  fatherly  care  and  concern,  to  look  after 
the  meaner,  and  also  encouraging  the  com- 
monalty not  trj  dread  or  be  aggrieved  at  the 
honors  of  their  superiors,  but  to  love  and  re 
spcct  them,  and  to  think  and  to  call  them  their 
fathers,  might  from  hence  give  them  the  name 
of    jialricians."' 

In    the    frmiili    month    after    the    city    was 
built  occurred  the  stealing  of  the  Sabine  wo- 
men.     AV'hile   Rqinc   possessed   a   large   popu^ 
lation,  it  was  composed  for  the  most  part  of 
men,   who,  having  no  homes   nor  farmily  -tics, 
grew    restless    and    turbulent,    and    occasioned 
their  king  much   trouble,     l^nmulus  therefore 
resolved   <in    a  strategem.     lie   gave  out  that 
they   had    unearthed   in    their  city»  the  altar  ol 
a  certain  god,  and  he  invited  the  Sabine  peo- 
ple to  ])articipate  in  the  festival  which  he  g.ivc 
to  d(3  honor  to  this  important  (Usco\-ery.''     It 
was    a    day   of   splendid    sacrifice,    and    public 
games  and  shows   .    .    .    many  flocked  thither, 
and   he    (  Rimnilus)    sat  in   front   amid   his   no- 
l)lcs  clad  in  purple.     Now  the  signal  for  their 
falling  on  was  to  be  when  he  arose  and  gath- 
ered up  his  robe  and   threw  it  o\  cr  his  body; 
his  men   stood  already  armed,  with   their  eyes 
intent  upon  him.  and  when  the  sign  was  given, 
drawing    ilicir    swords    and    falling   on    with    a 
great   shout,    they   ravished   away    the   daugli- 
ters    of    the    ."-^abines,    they    themselves    flying 
without    let    Ol-    hindrance."      Some   historians 
claim  that  there  were  but  thirty  virgins  taken, 
others  that  the  number  was  five  hundred  and 
more,  but  the  stories  all  agree  that  among  the 
women   there  was  but  one  who  was  married, 
and  that  she  was  taken  by  mistake.     I'lutarch 
goes    on    to    describe    this    event    as    f(5llows : 
'".Among  those  who  committed  the  rape  upon 
the  virgins  there  were,  they  say,  as  it  then  so 
happened,    some   of   the    meaner   sort   of   men, 
who  were  carrying  off  a  damsel   excelling  all 
in    beauty   and    comeliness   of   stature,    whom, 
when  some  of  the  su[)erior  rank  that  met  them 
attciU'pted   to   take  away,  they   cried   out   that 
they  were  carrying,  her  to  Talasius,   a  young 
man,   indeed,   but   brave  and   worthy  ;  hearing 
that,    they    commended    them    and    applauded 
them  loudly;  and  alst)  some  of  them  turning 
back    acc('m])anied    them    with    goodwill    ami 
pleasure,  shouting  out  the  name  of  Talasius. 
Hence  the  Roman.s  to  this  very  day  at  their 
weddings  sing  Talasius  for  their  nuptial  word, 
as  the  Greeks  do  Hymenaeus.  because  thev  say 
Talasius  was  very  ha])py  in  his  marriage.    Hut 
Sextius  Sylla  told  me  that  Romulus  gave  this 
word  as  a  sign  to  I)egin  the  onslaught;  every- 
body  therefore   who   made  prize   of  a   maiden 
cried  out  Talasius.  and  for  'that  reason  the  cus- 
tom   still    continues    at    marriages."      Others, 
again,    think    that    the    word     Talasia,     which 
means    s[)inning,    was    used    to    incite    newly- 
married  women  to  good  housewifcrv,  as  when 
at   last    the    Sabines   and     the     Romans     were 
reconciled,   the   former  made  a   condition    that 
their  women  should  never  do  any  more  menial 
service  for  their  husbands  than  spinning.     "It 
continues    also   a   custom    to   this    very   day," 
wrote  Plutarch,  "for  a  bride  not  of  herself  to 
pass  her  husband's  t.hreshold.  but  to  be  lifted 
over  in  memory  that  the  Sabine  virgins  were 
carried  in  by  violence  and  did  not  go  of  Ihcir 
own  will.     .Some  say,  too.  the  custom  of  part- 
ing the  bride's  hair  with  the  head  of  a  spear 
was  In  token  that  their  marriages  began  first 
by   war  and   acts   of  hostility." 

The  Sabines  greatly  resented  the  high- 
handed behavior  of  Romulus,  and  sent  word 
demanding  that  the  maidens  be  at  once  re- 
stored to  them,  wh^n,  if  Romulus  so  desired, 
they  would  enter  upon  friendly  negotiations 
with  him.  But  Romulus  would  not  accede  to 
their  request,  though  he  was  eager  for  the 
fricndlineps  of  the  neighboring  people.  Some 
battles  ensned,  in  all  of  which  Ithe  Romans 
wi^e  MiiEceMfult,  and  tlte  cities  4^ich  Romu* 


lus  took  he  divided  among  his  own  citizens, 
sparing  always  the  houses  and  land  belonging 
to  the  relatives  uf  the  stolen  Sabine  maidens. 
At  last  all  the  rest  of  the  Sabines  united  un- 
der Tatius  to  make  a  final  charge  upon  the 
Roman  city.  Relating  to  the  betrayal  of  the 
city  by  Tanpeia,  Plutarch  tells  the  "following 
story:  "The  city  was  almost  inaccessible 
...  but  Tarpeia.  daugiiter  to  the  captain, 
coveting  the  golden  bracelets  she  saw  the 
Sabines  Avear,  betrayed  the  fort  into  their 
hands  .and  asked  in  reward  of  her  treachery 
the  things  they  wore  on  their  left  arms.  Ta-

in   command   in    the   beleaguered    city.      When 
he  -saw  that  Edward  was  determined  to  main- 
tain   liis    investment,    ho    sent    away    a    large 
number  of  the  citizens,  chiefly  the  older  men. 
women   and   children.     Edward   not   only    i)cr- 
mittcd   them   to  pass  safely  through  his' lines, 
but   he   entertained   them   at  dinner  and   gave 
each  of  them  a  sum  of  money.     If  he  thought 
by  this   means   to  gain   the   "friendship   of   the 
citizens,    he    was  mistaken.      Thev    were    re- 
solved   to    resist    to    the    end.      After    eleven 
months  John  de  VienneWrote  to  Philip  say- 
ing:    "Elvcrything  has  been  eaten,   cats,  dogs 
and  horses.' and  we  can  no  longer  \  ictual   the 
town  unless  w^e  eat  human  flesh.     If  we  have 
not  speedy  succor,  we  will   issue   forth   from 
the  town  to  fight,  whether  to  live  or  die.  for 
we    would    rather   die    honorably   in    the    field 
than  eat  one  another."    This  appeal  led  Philip 
to  take  action,  and  he  advanced  with  an  army 
of  200.000  men.     When  he  saw  how  well  Ed- 
ward was  entrenched,  he  fearerl  to  attack  him, 
and   sent    messengers   to   him    in\iting  him    to 
clioose   a  battlefield    where  thev    w<Mdd   be  on 
an    cciual    footing.      To    this    J'*dward    replied 
that   the  siege  had  already  cost  him  so  much 
that  he  would  not  abandon  it.     Philip  then  re- 
tired.    The  citizens   were   plunged   in   despair, 
and  John   de.  Vienne   was   urged    by    them    to 
begin    negotiations    for    surrender.      Edward'i 
terms  were  hard.     He  demanded   uncondition- 
al   surrender,    it    to     be     imderstood    that     he 
should  be  at  liberty  to  put  to  death  such  and 
so   many   nf   the   citizens   as   he    might   select. 
The  answer  of  Sir  John  to  the  messenger  was 
full  of  nobility  and  courage.     "It  would  be  a 
hard  matter,"  he  said,  "if  we  were  to  conscfit 
to  uhat  yon  say.    There  are  wn'thin  here  but  a 
small  number  of  us  knights  and  squires,  who 
have  hjyally  served  our  king  lord,  the  king  of 
France,  as  you  would  serve  yours  in  like  case: 
but   we   would   suffer   greater   evils   than    ever 
men  have  had  to  endure  rather  than  consent 
that  the  meanest  prentice  boy  or  varlet  should 
have  any  other  evil   than   the  greatest  of  us." 
Sir    Walter    de    Moray,  who     was     Edward's 
messenger,  was  mucli  impressed  by  this  noble 
answer,  and  held  out  hone  that  Edward  would 
show  mercy.     Rut  the  Engli.sh  king  was  ob- 
durate.     Sir    Walter    argued    with    him.      He 
asked   if   Edward  could   expect   his  knights  to 
defend   his   castles,    if  he    set   the   example   of 
slaying  in  cold  blood  those  who  rlefended  the 
possessii^ns  of  another  king.     All   the  English 
nobles   and    knights   implored    the   king   to   be 
merciful.   At  last  he  said  he  would  afifree  that  if 
the  defenders  of  the  citv  would  send  out  six  of 
the  most  notable  burghers,  bareheaded,  bare- 
footed, with  ropes  around  their  necks  and  the 
keys   rtf  the   city   in   their  hands,   .so   that  he 
might  do  with  them  what.soever  he  might  see 
fit.  he  would  grant  mercy  to  the  others. 

When  vSir  Walter  took  this*  reply  to  Sir 
John,  the  peonle  were  Runimoned  to  the  mar- 
ket place.  Sir  John  delivered  his  mes.sage 
with  tears  streaming  down  hig  cheeks,  and  the 
people  sobbed  aloud.  Then  Kusiace  de  St. 
Pierre  stood  ont  from  amone  thie  throng,  and 
offered  himself  as  one  of  the  six  bv  whose 
death  the  othcr«  might  be  savecj.  At  this  men

is  told  of  him  that  he  was  very  rich  and  had 
two  beautiful  daughters.  Then  came  James 
de  Vissant  and  his  brother  Peter,  and"  then 
two  others  whose  names  have  not  been 
preserved.  On  .August  5,  1347,  these  six 
men  went^  forth  from  Calais  as  Edward  had 
commanded,  bareheaded,  barefooted,  with 
halters  around  their  necks  and  the  keys  of  the 
city  in  their  hands.  Sir  Wtilter  led  them  to 
the  king,  whf)  waited  with  his  wife  Philippa  to 
receive  them.  For  a  time  ICdward  was  s])eech- 
Ics^  with  rage  against  the  burghers,  but  at

ber of  l-'nglish  people  to  settle  in  the  city  and 
gave  them  places  of  prominence  in  its  govern-

by  granting  him  many  favors,  and  generally 
he  ordered  affairs  that  Calais,  became  one  <i(

INSPIRATION 


Paul,  writing  to  Timothy,  said:  ".Ml 
Scripture  is  giv?n  by  inspiration  of  Ci(.ul." 
Peter  in  his  second  general  Epistle  said:  "For 
the  pro|)hocy  came  not  in  old  time  In-  the  will 
'of  man.  but  holy  men  spake  as  the}-  were 
moved  by  the  Holy  Ghost."  The  writer  of 
the  Epistle  to  the  Hebrews  begins  his  letter  by 
saying:  "God.  who  at  sundry  times  and  in 
di\-ers  manners,  in  times  past  spake  unto  the 
fathers  by  the  j^rophets."'  Ltike,  in  the  intro- 
ductory part  'if  Ins  (jospel,  speaking  of  the 
l/ord  God  of  Israel,  uses  this  expression:  "As 
He  spake  by  the  mouth  of  ilis  holy  prophets, 
which  have  been  since  the  world  began."  From 
these  passages  it  is  very  clear  that  the  belief 
in  inspiration  was  common  ^mong  the  Apos- 
tles, and  we  may  believe,  without  doing  vio- 
lence to  anything  contained  in  the  Xew  Testa- 
ment, that  such  a  belief  was  general,  li  it 
were  not  so.  the  general  statements  quoted 
would  hardly  have  been  made.  .A.s^we  have  said 
in  other  comiections,  it  is  necessary,  if  we 
would  get  a  writer's  meaning,  to  bear  in  mind 
to  whom  he  was  writing,  what  he  was  writ- 
ing about  and  who  he  himself  was.  This  is 
true  of  everything  that  is  written  ;  the  personal 
ecpiation  must  be  taken  into  account.  Four 
writers  are  quoted  above,  and  each  one  of 
them  asserts  the  theory  of  inspiration  as  some- 
thing that  re(|uire<l  no  argument,  not  as 
though  they  were  propounding  some  new  pro- 
position or  seeking  to  establish  a  credit  for 
themselves.  It  seems,  therefore,  as  if  we  must^ 
concede  a  general  opinion  among  the  people, 
whom  these  writers  were  addressing,  to  the  ef- 
fect that  there  are  sources  of  knowdedge  ex- 
ternal to  ourselves.  This  O|)inioii  «as  by  no 
means  confined  to  the  Jews,  for  we  find  it  per- 
meating the  writings  of  all  the  great  Eastern 
teachers.  Prclief  in  inspiration  is  \-cry  far  from 
being  an  invention  of  the  Christian  Church. 

To  what  the  writers  quoted  were  referring 
is  not  easily  determined.  Paul,  who  was  a 
highly  educated  man,  says  "all  Scripture''  is 
divinely  inspired.  /Xssuming  that  this  is  a  cor- 
rect version  of  what  he  said,  it  must  be  con- 
ceded to  be  a  very  sweeping  statement:  but 
the  context  limits  its  application,  for  Paul  had 
just  .s^ioken  of  Timothy  as  having  from  his 
youth  been  instructed  in  the  Holy  Scriptures, 
which  taught  of  salvation  through  Christ.  It 
is  only  by  a  very  forced  construction  of  the 
language  that  this  reference  can  be  made  apply 
to  the  Bible  as  we  have  it  today.  The  idea 
that  everything  in  that  book  from  Genesis  to 
Revelations  was  in  Paul's  mind  when  he  wrote 
to  Timothy  is  one  that  has  nothing  whatever 
to  support  it.  The  other  quotations  refer  to 
the  writings  of  "the  prophets.'*  Our  English 
word  "prophecy"  refers  to  the  prediction  of 
events  to  come,  but  this  is  not  the  meaning 
attached  by  the  Hebrews  to  the  expression.  A 
prophet  with  them  meant  one  who  gave  ex- 
pression to  divine  messages.  It  seems  as  if 
prophecy  were  an  'd^ce  of  the  state,  From 
ihf  ^^  etj^M^  custom 


for  the  study  of  the  religion  and  philosophy  of 
the  nation,  and  they  qualified  themselves  for 
tlie  task  by  an  austere  manner  of  living  and  by 
givuig  themselves  up  to  contemplation.  It  was 
believed  that  these  "holy  men  spake  as  thev 
were  moved  by  the  lIoly'Ghost,"  that  is  by  the 
Divine  Spirit,  an  idea  that  was  confined  by  no 
means  to  the  Jewish  people,  but  is  held  to' this 
day  by  the  disciples  of  Buddha  as  well  as  by 
many  other  people.  There  are  manv  branches 
of  the  Christian  Church  in  which  'this  belief 
is  firmly  held.  and.  indeed,  to  a  very  consider- 
able degree  influences  their  religious  obser- 
vances. Tluis  wc  l;i\v  Mill  effect  to  the  quota-

follows  that  there  will  certainly  be  a  variation 
between_  the  truth  as  .stated  at  various  times 
and  in  different  countries.  Some  may  say  that 
it  is  i)Ossible  fr)r  the  Creator  so  to  order  things 
that  the  absolute  truth  will  always  be  inspired 
in  the  minds  of  "holy  men,"  which  may  be  true 
enough,  but  it  is  quite  beside  the  question. 
The  inspiration  has  always  been  fitted  for  the 
cijmprehension  of  those  to  wdiom  it  was  dircct- 
crl.  Here  wc  have  a  thought  that  seems  to  be 
of  .-1  \ery  far-reaching  character.  If  it  is  well 
founded,  it  ought  to  make  the  Church  pro- 
gressive, and  instead  of  the  people  being  fed 
upon  the  dry  husks  of  an  old  theology,  they 
would  be  led  to  see  the  inspiration  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  in  the  develoi)ment  of  modern  thought, 
anrl  might  realize  that  we  are  no  further  away 
from  "divine  truth  now  than  were  the  "Holy 
Men  Of  Old." 

It  follows  from  what  has  been  said  that 
there  is  no  warrant  in  anything  contained  in 
the  Bible  for  concluding  that  the  historical 
books  are  tlivinely  inspired,  and  when  this  is 
conccd'ed  a  great  stumbling  block  will  be  re- 
moved from  the  path  of  those  persons  who 
would  like  U)  accept  the  Christian  religion,  but 
find  their  intelligence  challenged  by  such  state- 
ments as  that  Jonah  lived  for  threee  days  in  a 
great  fish,  or  that  the  sun  stood  still  "at  the 
command  of  Joshua,  or  that  Eve  was  formed 
from  a  rib  taken  out  of  the  body  of  Adam.  If 
we  take  the  view  of  inspration.  which  Paul 
seems  to  have  held,  we  will  see  that  there  is  a 
w-ide  distinction  between  -what  purports  to  be 
history  and  what  purports  to  have  been  writ- 
ten through  the  influence  of  the  Divine  Spirit. 
Wc  find  it  unnecessary  to  explain  away  to  our- 
selves or  to  others  certain  alleged  facts  in  his- 
tory, before  wc  can  accept  or  ask  others  to  ac- 
cept certain  laws  of  our  spiritual  nature.  To 
illustrate  this  idea  wc  may  say  that  we  may 
believe  in  the  benefit  to  mankind  of  the  devef- 
o])ment  of  Canadian  democracy  without  being 
quite  satisfied  that  Christopher  Columbus  was 
the  first  European  to  visit  America.  Wc  may 
accept  the  teachings  of  Jesus  without  accepting 
the  statement  that  the  Lord  ordered  the  f-Ie- 
brew  rulers  in  ancient  days  to  do  all  manner  of 
cruel  things. 

It  follows  also  that  inspiration  is  not  dic- 
tation, and  if  we  would  only  remember  this, 
the  differences  of  opinion  on  religious  subjects 
would  vanish.  We  would  realize  that  truth  is 
not  and  cannot  always  be  presented  in  the 
.|^ame  garb.  We  wtnild  understand  that  sim- 
iles and  illustrations  that  were  appropriate 
enough  to  the  Jewish  people  two  thousand 
years  ago,  or  to  the  followers  of  the  Christian 
Church  in  the  early  cenHiries  of  our  Era,  may 
not  be  aj)propriate  today.  We  would  shake 
ourselves  free  from  what  may,  with  all  due  re- 
spect, be  called  ecclesiastical  jargon.  We 
would  see  that  the  Church  must  keep  pace 
with  the  progress  of  human  thought,  and  that 
it  is  greatly  handica[)ping  itself  by  trying  to 
carry  forward  with  it  old  forms  of  expression, 
old  misconceptions  of  the  divine  nature,  old 
false  ideas  of  human  nature.  Then  science  and 
religion  would  go  forward  hand  in  hand  to'the 
great. advantage  of  human  happiness.

THE  CALENDAR 


Israel.  It  is  purely  an  arbitrary  division ; 
that  is  it  is  not  founded  upon  any  terrestrial 
or  astronomical  fact.  It  seems  to  have  sonic 
relation  to  the  pha.ses  of  the  moon.  The  time 
required  by  the  moon  to  complete  a  circuit 
around  the  earth  is  about  27  1-2  days,  or  half 
a  day  less  than  four  weeks.  Thus  we  see 
that  roughly  speaking,  a  week  is  one-fourth 
of  the  time  required  for  such  a  revolution. 
This  may  have  been  the  origin  of  the  Israel- 
iti.sh  Avcek,  but  there  is  nci  certainty  on  the 
point. 

The   JcAvs    reckoned     tinfeS'.'  by     the   year. 

which    they   divided    into   months,   the    length 

of  the   month   being  from   new   moon   to  new 

moon.     There    were   twelve   of   these    months 

in  the  year,  and  as  this  did  not  take  up  the

,.«n_ce  had  to  be  made  up  by  occasionally     aj)- 

;j^inting  intercalery  months.     As  an  example 

of   this    intercalation    w^e    may    suppose      that 


In  ancient  Rome  it  was  the  custom  that 
the  Pontifex  Maximus,  or  chief  priest,  should 
proclaim  the  first  day  of  every  month.  This 
was  for  j)ublic  convenience,  because  there 
was  no  other  way  by  which  the  people  could 
be  kept  informed  on  the  subject.  Thr  Rom- 
ans did  not  divide  time  by  weeks.  They  di- 
vided the  month  in  three  by  three  periods, 
known  respectively  as  the  Calends,  the  Nones, 
and  the  Idis.  The  Calends  were  the  first  day 
of  the  month,  that  iis  the  day  of  the  proclama- 
tion, the  Nones  were  the  ninth  dav ;  the  Ides 
in  March.  May,  July,  and  October' fell  on  ^hc 
15th,  in  the  other  months  on  the  13th.  The 
other  days  of  the  month  were  designated  by 
reference  to  these  days.  This  was  a  very  an- 
cient division  of  time,  although,  be  it  remem- 
bered, there  was  no  month  of  July  for  many 
centuries  after  the  adoption  of  this  system. 
The  origin  of  the  week  is  uncertain ;  but  it 
Menas  t<>  have  been  derived  from  the  institu- 


may    suppf  ._      

when  it  was  observed  that  the  vernal  equinox 
was  thirty  days  later  than  the  time  on  wdiich 
it  was  theoretically  supposed  to  fall,  the  Pon- 
tifex Maximus  would  declare  that  there  should 
that  year  be  an  additional  month,  so  that 
dates  and  the  movements  of  the  sun  would 
correspond. 

This  naturally  led  to  much  confusion 
and  uncertainty  as  to  dates,  which  Julius 
Caesar  sought  to  remedy  by  employing 
a  Greek  astronomer  named  Sosigenes  to 
frame  a  new  calendar,  wdtich  he  did  by  pro- 
viding that  the  year  should  consist  of  twelve 
months.  This  change  took  place  in  46  B.C., 
when  there  were  fourteen  months  in  the  year, 
two  additional  being  inserted  betw-een  No- 
vember and  December.  This  was  a  tempo- 
rary arrangement  only,  and  was  intended  to 
make  the  winter  solstice  of  the  calendar  cor- 
respond with  the  actual  solstice.  The  two 
months  that  were  permanentlv  added  to  the 
calendar  were  July  and  August.  This  made 
September,  which  had  hitherto  been  the  sev- 
enth month  in  point  of  fact,  ii<i  its  name  .shows 
it  was  at  one  time  considered,  became  the 
ninth  month :  October,  the  name  of  which 
signifies  the  eighth  month  became  the  tenth; 
November,  which  means  the  ninth,  became 
the  eleventh,  and  December,  which  means 
the  tenth,  became  the  twelfth.  The  Greeks 
had  long  before  this  time  ■  learned  that  the 
length  of  the  solar,  year,  that  is  of  the  time 
required  by  the  earth  to  revolve  around  the 
sun  was  3651-4. days,  and  Sosigenes  devised 
the  plan  of  an  intercalary  day  every  fourth 
year  to  dispose  of  these  quarters.  He'  fixed  it 
between   the  23rd   and   24th  of  February. 

But  even  this  arrangement  was  found  in- 
adequate, for  under  it  the  solar  year  and  the 
lunar  year  did  not  correspond.  It  continued 
in  force,  nevertheless,  for  more  than  sixteen 
hundred  years,  by  which  time  the  calendar 
dates  had  fallen  ten  days  behind  the  astron- 
omical occurrences  which  they  were  supposed 
to  represent.  Chiraldi,  a  physician  of  C^noa, 
thereupon  proposed  a  new  arrangement  of 
the  calendar,  which  Pope  Gregory  XHI.  pro- 
claimed in  force  in  all  Catholic  countries  in 
the  year  1582.  By  this  decree  ten  days  were 
dropped  out  of  October  of  that  year,  so  that 
the  day  after  the  fourth  became  the  fifteenth. 
It  was  also  declared  that  the  intercalary  day 
should  be  the  day  after  February  28.  As 
this  would  make  in  a  long  period  a  difference 
between  the  dates  and  the  astronomical  facts, 
it  was  ordered  that  the  century  years  should 
not  be  leap  years,  except  in  the  case  of  every 
fourth  century.  Thus  1600  was  leap  year, 
but  1700.  180C,  and  1900  were  not;  2000  will 
be.  Even  this  arrangement  does  not  quite  ad- 
just the  differences  which  were  necessary  to 
get  rid  of,  but  the  inaccuracy  is  so  small  as 
to  be  negligible  except  for  an  exceedingly  long 
space  of  time.  Our  descendants  some  thou- 
sands of  years  from  now — how  many  thoit- 
sands  we  shall  not  undertake  to  say — will  i 
find  it  necessary  to  intercalate  a  day  so  that 
the  equinoxes  and  the  solstices  may  fall  on. 
the  days  of  the  month  assigned  to  them  in  I 
the  almanac. 

One  would  suppose  that  this  new  arrange- 
ment would  have  been  at  once  accepted,  buti 
even  some  of  the  Catliolic  countries  were  slow 
about   falling  in   line.     Germany,  which  was 
a  Protestant  country,  declined  to  accept  it  for  i 
eighteen  years,   while   England  refused  until' 
1753.     Russia  yet  adheres  to  the  Old  Style. 
The  change   in   England  went  even     further 
than  this.    Up  to  1752  the  legal  and  ecclesias-; 
tic  year  was  held  to  begin  on  March  25,  but  the: 
statute  bringing  the  New  Style  into  force  also 
declared  that  the  legal  year  S'hould  begin  on 
January  i.     For  some  time  after  this  it  wasj 
customary-  to  write  dates  between  January  1 
and  March  25  in  the  following  manner,  for  ex- 
ample, January  i,  1758-59. 

The  date  of  Easter  was  fixed  by  the  Council 
of  Nice,  in  325.  In  the  Anglican  Ptayer  Book 
rules  are  given  for  finding  when  Easter  mHIII 
fall  in  any  year.  The  first  direction* is  *'t»kc 
the  Golden  Number  of  the  year."  The  Golden 
Number  is  of  Greek  origin  and  was  so-called 
beca'.ise  it  represented  •  method  of  calculation 
of  the  solar  periods  invented  by  Meton  and 
Euctemon  before  432  B.C.,  and  In  that  year  en-

T"WO    SPORTING    SALMON 


I  am  well  past  the  allotted  -three  score  and 
ten  vears,  and  still  the  rise  and  finst  rush  oi  a 
■,niod  fisii  appeal  to  me  almost  as  irresistibly  as 
in  my  youth.  Our  river  is  a  very  long  one.  and 
few  fish  reacli  its  upper  waters,  as  they  have 
to  run  the  j^auntlet  of  many  nets  a  few  miles 
below.  There  was  no  fishing  water  in  tiie 
earlv  jiart  of  the  season,  at  all  events  after 
.Xpr'il.  but  during  July  the  floods  were  inces- 
sant, and  the  fish  did  not  seem  to  have  settled 
down,  but  passed  on  up  stream.  I'he  two  fish 
in  (|UCStion  were  both  hooked  in  the  same  pool, 
which  is  about  120  yards  long,  with  a  bank 
from  3  ft.  to  4  ft.  high  on  one  side,  where  the 
hea\-i.6.st  water  flows,  wliilc  (ju  the  o])i)osite 
side  it  shallows  out  on  to  ;i  bed  of  shingle. 
Where  the  water  is  deep,  so  nnudi  of  tlic  land 
is  being  -wept  away  that  the  owner  has  built 
a  big  barricade  of  stone  at  the  top  end  oi  the 
run.  and  the  whole  length  of  this  has  been 
riveted  with  blocks,  of  cement  and  concrete. 
Several  ^f  these.  l)locks,  which  are  very 
massi\e.  have  been  displaced  by  recent  floods, 
and  no\v  lie  loose  at  the  bottom  of  the  stream, 
wlicrc  thev  form  extremely  uu].)leasant  ol>- 
stacles  from  the  fisherman's  jjoint  of  view. 

I'ut  other,  and  worse,  olistacles  are  in  this 
catch,  in   tiie  shape  of  some  piles  which  imce 
supported    a    footbridge.      The    tops    of    these 
l)iles  are  just  above  the  surface,  and  divide  the 
river's    widih    into    three   approximately    ccpial 
spaces.      As  a   nde.   1   fish   the  catch    from   the 
shallow    side,   but    on    this   day   there    was   too 
much    water    u<    allow    of    my    wading    acr6.ss. 
In    llu'   run   arc   two  g<iod   holding   places,  one 
near  the  to]),  the  other  at  the  bottom,  ami  the 
ironv   of   fate  has   jdaced  on   the  bank  side  an 
alder  tree  exactly  opposite  each  of  these  two 
points  .and  so  close  in  that  it  is  very  difficult 
to  get  a  line  out;  at  the  very  bottom   of   the 
catch,    and    about    th.rce    yards    out    fnnn    tlie 
.bank,  there  is  yet  another  nasty  cncunil)rance. 
consisting    of    an    old    isolated    idle,    proliably 
dri\eu   in  to  ])rcvent  netting;  below  the  catch 
is  a   succession  of  rapids  and  small   pools.     T 
was  quite  alone  on  the  first  day.  and  liad  only 
a  short   telescopic  gaff  hitched  on^  to  my   left 
brace  butlrm.     I   put  up  my  favorite  fly,  one 
of  my  own  pattern  and  tyifii'.  arid  be-^an  at  the 
top  of  the  run.  the  water  behip  of  a  fine  peaty 
color.     At  the  first  al^tJr  trcia  T  had  to  shorten 
my    line    and    make    ah   "underhand    cast,    and 
wiicn  the  fly  reached  the  middle  of  the  stream 
I  saw  the  flash  of  a  fi.sh  like  t  strftak  of  silver, 
but  he  did  not  touch  ttve  hook.     F  reeled  tip 
and  looked  at  my   watch    (it  wa.s-3:40  p.ni.). 
gave   him   ten    mimitcs.    and    cast    over    him 
again;   this   time   he   came  at  once,   and   just 
touched  the  fly.  so  1   feared  it  was  all  over, 
f Towever,  I  |?ave  him  another  ten  rhintit^s,  and 
then  essayed  a  third  trial ;  he  came  up  splen- 
didly, making  a  head  and  shoulder  rise;  I  had 
to  lift  my  rod  backwards,  as  it  were,  on'  ac- 
count of  the  tree,  but  I  was  w^ell  fast  in  him. 
He  made  a. grand  rush  down  strearti.  spinning: 
out  my  line  so  that  the  reel  screfeched  again, 
and  then,  far  down  on  the  opjiosite  side,  so  far, 
indeed,  that  it  was  hard  to  believe 'It  was  the 
same  fisK,  he  leaped  dean  out  of  the  water. 
Th©  Jioint  erf  my  rod  went  dt/wn  autDniatically, 
and  as  by  this  time  my  reel  was  pretty  empty. 
it  was  a  great  relief  to  fiiid  when  I  again  raified 
the  rod  the  fish  heading  up  strcanf  oti  a  taut 
liiiiev  Uip  hewent  at  a  magnificent  speed,  con- 
sidering the  heavy  water  throvigh  which  the 
gut  cut  with  a  swish  J  in  this  spurt  he  skirted 
the  cement  blocks,  giving  ne  a  most  anxious- 
time  lest  lie  should  ioul  them. 
-     He  came  to  anchor  in  the' heavy  water  at 
the  top  of  the  cat<?h,  where  he  «!«lked  for  fully 
a  quarter  of  art  hour,  shaking  his  head  vicious- 
ly  iat. intervals.     T^henj  iwdde|tttrv;tMf«i»kR^  he 
rushed  down  stream  at  a  pace  tni^t  nearly  de-

tunity  to  recover  some  of  my  wind,  he  gave  a 
series  of  what  I  can  only  describe  as  premedi- 
tated rushes  towards  the  piles,  with  the  one 
object  of  breaking  me,  but  I  saw  through  that 
little  game,  and  put  on  all  the  tension  1  dared. 
He   then   settled   down    at   the   bottom   of   the 
pool  in  comparatively  (piiet  water,  but  be  was 
by  no  means  done-yet,  for,  after  a  short  rcs))iie, 
away    he    went    up   stream   again,    through    tlie 
centre  of  the  t\vo  piles,  right  up  to  the  i)oiutr 
\shcre    1    hooked   him,   but   api)aren<.ly   his    old 
haunt   did  not  now  appeal   to  him.   lor  with   a 
whisk    he    was    on.-e     more     scurrying     down 
stream   as    fast  as   fins   would   carry   him,    this 
lime  making  my  hair  sUuul  on  end  by  coming 
right  in  to  the  bank  of  cement  blocks.     Three 
limes  in  all  he  took  me  through  the  piles,  but 
;it  last    1   h;ul  him  well  i^layed  out  in  the  bot- 
tom of  the  run  and  just  above  the  last  obsta- 
cle; he  was  now  lying  on  his  side,  obviously 
exhausted,    so    I     un^hitched     my     gaff,     and, 
stealthily  drawing  him  close  in,  w.i-  reaching 
out  to  strike  when  he  made  a  short  roll  over 
towards  the  single  pile,  the  hook  got  free,  and 
he  slowly  sank  into  deep  water,     lie  was  a

him.     Looking  at  my  watch,  I  found  the  time 
5  p.m..  so  iliat  I  had  jdayed  him  for  an  hour. 

The  second  fish  I  hooked  two  days  later  in 
the  same  pool;  in\   davigliler— who  insists  that 
1   ;im   too  old  lo  fi>h  .all   the  afternoon   without 
some    refreshment — accom].)anicd    me    on    this 
occasion  with  the' object  of  ijroviding  me  with 
;i    cup   of   lea,    which   she   proceeded    to    make 
while  I  fished.     The  water  being  still  the  same 
he'-ht    and    color.    I     was    again    compelled    to 
jfish  from  the  bank  on  the  deep  side;  starting  at 
the   top,   1    fished   it   carefully   down,   but    saw 
nothing   until    1    was   near   the   fag  end   of   the 
pool,    where    1    had   lost   the   previc)us   salmon, 
when  a  fish  came  uj)  with  a  ,L;r:uid  >wir!  and   i 
was  fast  in  him,  the  time  being  3:^5  p.m.     I  lis 
first    effort    for   lil)crty    consisted    of   a    furious 
rush   up   stream   and   between    the  centre   pi[es 
of  the   old   bridge,   his   next   move   was   down 
stream,  and  T  had  to  run  to  save  my  line;  this 
time  1  i)ut  on  great  i)ressure.Jlo  make  him  clear 
the  idles,  and  hp  passed  down  just   inside  the 
farlliest  one,   instead  of  outside   it  as   he   tried 
to.      T    will    not   recount   his    many    rushes   up 
and   down    the  pool,   ami   how   he   tried    to    foul 
mc,  now  in  the  piles,  now  in  the  cement  blocks. 
Suffice  it  to  say  that  his  i)lay  from  the  time  1 
hooked    him    until    5   p.m.   was    very    similar   to 
that     of  fish  num])er  one.     \\  lien  he  was  only 
a  few  yards  above  wlicrc   1   hooked  him   1   felt 
the    line    grating    and    then    all    was    still.      I 
thmight  it  was  all   (jver,  but    no.   he   had   gone 
to   ground    and   lay   sulking   uiuler   one   of    the 
cement    bh^cks.      By    this   time.    I    must    point 
out.    I    had    cpiite  an    audience   in    the   forni   of 
some  stable  boys  and  two  trout  fishermen,  one 
of  whom,  most  fortunately  fc>r  me.  as  will  be 
seen    later,    was    on    the    iii)])osite    b;uik.      The 
first   ruse    employed    consisted    in    ])eltin^    the 
fish   with   stones,  but  he   would   not   hud^e.      1 
dared   n(.)t   put  on   more   i)ressure.   for  my   line 
passed   over  the  edge  of  a  cement  block   and 
then    down    to    the    fish,   and    every    instant    I 
feared    the    gut    would    jiart  ;    an    attelnpt    was 
then    made  to  dislodge   him    with   a   long   pn]e: 
shod  at  one  end  with  a  piece  of  iron.  Imt  after 
several    ineffectual    attemjHs     ;his.     loo,     was 
gi\cn  up.  At  this  juncture  l  took  the  opportun- 
ity  to   swalb.iw    a    most    welcom.e   cup   of   hot 
tea,  of  course  .keeping  my  line   taut:  by  5:45. 
beginning   to    feel    desperate,    I    made    up    my 
mind  to  act  on  the  princi])Ie  of  "pull  de\il,  pull 
baker."   and    when    the   fisherman    on    the   op- 
posite bank  (whom  T  will  call  ".\.")   suggest- 
ed  getting   another   line   attached    to   mine   in 
tuch  manner  that  he  could  ])ull   on   it  and  so 
apply  direct  tension  to  the  fish.     This  was  no 
sooner   said    than    acted    on,    a    line    was    pro- 
cured,   and    a    stone    fixed    t()   one    end    of    it. 
which   was  then   thrown-  acnmH  the  river  and 
secured   by   A.     Then,   on    out   side,   an    open 
running  loop  in  this  line  was  niade  around. my 
line,  and  to  this  loop  a  small  weight  to  act  as 
a  .sinker  was   attached.     The  loop  gaily    de- 
.scerided.  the  stone  carrying  it  right  down  on 
to  the  fish's  shout.     A.  now  pulled  gently  on 
this  line,  thus  applyjng  strain   directly   to  the 
fish,  while  at  the  same  time  my  own  line  never 
lost  in  rigidity.    Out  came  the  fish.  A.  cut  off 
his  lint'  as  short  as  possible,  and  by  playing 
the  sadmVJh  np  to  my  bank  I  enabled  one  of  the 
stable  hoys  to  cut  off  the  rest  of  the  acces.nory 
line,  leaving  only  the  loop  and  an  insignificant 
tail  end;  later  on,  the  loop  worked  up  to  the 
point  of  the  rod,  and,  fearing  trouble.  T  had  this 
cut  away  too.    All  this  had  to  be  done  as  oc- 
casion offered,  while  the. fish  was  working  up 
^ream  tOVvards  the  piles  and  into  the  heavy 
water  at  the. top  of  the  run;  once ^there,  he 
^Itered  his  mind  and   suddenly  da.shed   down 
str«;ani  again  as  hard  as  he  could  go,  with  me 
after  him.  followed  in  my  turn   by  the  pack 
of  stable  boys  yelling  and  throwing  in  stones 
to  keep  the  fish  out  in- the  Ptream  and  clear 
of  the  blocks.    Down  he  raced,  clearing  all  ob- 
stacles, and  finding  the  pool  too  hot  for  him, 
entered  a  fong  rapid,  and  so  on  into  the  next 
and  lower  pool.     As  he  wriggled  down  this 
rapid  it  was  very  obviidiia  ,he  was  spent,  sla  he 
showied  s6;?niucih  of  his  whttt  ibelly.    On*  of 
the  stable  boys  ran  on  ahe^^,  and,  entering  the

that  one  of  them  actually  caught  hold  of  my 
line,  intending  to  haul  the  fish  clear,  but  some 
real  fisherman's  language,  which  I  will  not  re-

double,  then  slowly  anc^  steadily  straightened

MY   FIRST  DEER 


Every  big  game  hunter,  no  matter  what  his 
sul)sequent  exploits,  can  recall  with  vividness 
the  killing  of  his  first  deer.  Buck  fe\er  or  no 
buck  fever,  every  detail  of  the  experience  is  in- 
delibly  engraved   on   his   memory. 

The  writer  was  a  lad  <.'f  fourteen  in  the  mid- 
dle -eNenties  when  game  laws  were  less  rigid 
ill  Ontario  than  they  arc  today — indeed  we 
knew  next  to  nutliiug  of  game  laws  in  those 
.days,  and  every  wet  clay  when  har\  esting  op- 
erations were  suspended,  we  boys  were  to  be 
-4t->H4Hl— -t-i=a-mj*i«^--t4^>--the — 8-i»v^ mp>*-- and^  ■  "tote- 
roads'  'after  i)artridge.  armed  with  rthe  old 
muzzle-loaders  and  accompanied  by  the  farm 
dogs.  There  are  no  dogs  like  them  now — 
those  oldtime  mongrels  that  did  the  churning, 
that  rounded  up  llie  slieci'j.  that  l.)rouglit  home 
the  c(5ws,  that  hunted  coon,  partridge,  deer 
and  bear,  that  dug  out  the  elusive  mink  and 
the  •fragrant  skunk,  that  guarded  the  home 
night  and  day  and  were  loyal  friends  through 
good  report  and  ill.  They  had  ucj  pedigrecH, 
but  they  had  character  and  the\-  made  good, 
which  is  the  main  thing  in  either  dog  or  man. 

It  was  potato-digging  time  in  October, 
1874.  The  writer,  togetlicr  with  father  and 
brothers  and  hired  helj),  was  busy  in  the  field 
one  bright  morning  when  someone  called  our 
attention  to  a  commotion  among  the  cows  on 
ai"knoll  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  west  of  the 
buildings.  Old  Baptiste,  a  veteran  of  the 
woods,  exclaimed  : 

".A   dear  I   a   dear!" 

Sure  enough,  there  it  was.  a  good  sized 
buck  among  the  cattle,  apparently  quite  at 
home  and  unafraid. 

"Ivouis."  said  my  father,  "take  the  dogs  up 
the  gully   and   let   them   go  among  the  cows." 

To  me  he  said  : 

■■('>eorge,  you  get  the  double  barrel  ;ind 
hide  at  the  big  pine  log  on  ihe  next  ridge.  The 
gun  is  loaded  with  buckshot' and  you  will  get 
iw()  shots  as  the  deer  passes  the  log."

kie,  Saskatchewan,  about  December  15,  191 1, 
and  although  nothing  out  of  the  ordinary  oc- 
curred, it  is  hoped  that  the  reading  of  this  nar- 
rative will  prove  of  interest  to  the  readers  of 
Rod  and  Gun  who  have  never  experienced  this 
class  of  sport. 

As  the  regular  hunting  season  for  Vluck 
and  chicken  had  been  closed  for  abodt  six 
week5,  and  as  business  with  us  was  dull  at 
this  season  of  the  year,  my  partner  and  I 
dialled  with  delight  Mr.  Harry  W.,  late  of 
Clinton,  Ontario,  when  he  showed  up  in  town 
on  a  fine  clear  morning  with  his  team  and  his 
three   Russian    wolf  hounds. 

On  Mr.  W.'s  appearing  al  our  place  of 
business    with    a    hearty   "Hurrah    fur   a    wolf 


hunt!"'  we 


hired  man,  iVot  they.  So  Louis  got  the 
and  I  took  the  dogs.  It  did  not  take  "Wolf" 
aiifl  "Keeldar"  long  to  "cut"  the  buck  out  of 
the  herd  of  staring  cattle  .  Down  came  the 
irio  like  the  wintl,  headed  straight  for  the  l)i- 
deau   River. 

"Hang!"  It  was  l^ouis.  l>ut  the  bang  had 
a  sinister,  short  range  echo  about  it  that,  did 
not  seem  to  come  in  right.  1  looked.  The 
white  flag  was  still  aloft,  marking  the  grace- 
ful hopes  that  bore  swiftly  towards  the  river.  I 
ran   to  Louis.     He  was  down. 

"What's  the  matter,  l^ouis?  Are  you  shot?"' 

"(.)h,  George!  Dat  gun  she  knock  me  down 
and  keek  me  free  tam  when  I.  am  down." 

Seizing   the   gun,   1   started   after   the   dogs 
and  the  deer.     One  barrel  of  the  gun,  I  knew, 
was  still   loaded.     1  reached  the  shore  at  the 
m(.)Uth  of  the  "Big  Gully"  just  in  time  to  see 
the  deer  shaking  himself  dry  on  the  opposite 
bank.     What  should  1   do?     The  dogs   were 
plunging  about  among  the  reeds  and  howling. 
An  old  log  canoe  was  there  with  one  sound 
end;  the  other  end  wUs  gOne.     I  got  into  the 
good    end    and    hustled    in    the    Willing    dogs. 
Then  with  a  liSt  of  clap-board  for  a  paddle  I 
started  for  the  eastern   shore'  where  iny   deer 
had  disappeared  among  the  poplars.     It  was 
strenuous  work,  but  we  got  there.     Instantly 
the  dogs  took  the  trail  and  were  soon  out  of 
hearing.       For     twenty     minute.s     there     was 
silence.    Then  came  a  howl  from  "Wolf" — the 
well-known   clarion   that   always   meant   busi- 
ness.     Presently — "Splash  !"      The    buck    was 
in  the  river  again,  looking  right  and  left,  un- 
certain how  to  proceed.     Then  another  howl 
from  "Wolf"  and  a  sharp  bark  from  "Keeldar" 
brought  him   to  a    decision,    and    he    headed 
straight  for  the  western  shore.    I  started  after 
him  in  the  old  canoe.     The  dogs  were  yelling 
on  the  eastern  shore,  and  every  yell  seemed  to 
put  life,  an<J  mettle  into  the  d^er.     It  was  a 
liard  and  memorable  race,  but  just  a^  the  buck 
touched  bottom  at  the  western  shore  a  charge 
of  buckshot  hurtled  about  his  head  and  he  fell 
dead  among  the  reeds. 

How  I  broke  the  news  to  the  potato  field; 
how  the  able-bodied  men  of  the  digging  party 
packed  njy  game  to  the  barn ;  how  the  wet  and 
wearied  dpgs  came  home  and  slept  for  a  whole 
afternoon  by  the  kitchen  stove ;  how  the  four- 
leen-year-old\  was  congratulated;  how  his 
mates  at  sohdol ,  were  electrified,  and  filled 
with  admirationHt-and  something  else.  These 
are  th'nuga  that  cafnot  be  forgotten. — Rod  and

of  course,  accepted,  and  after  se- 
curing our  o\-crcoats.  bumlled  into  the  sleigh 
and   were  of  I. 

"Where   are   yon    going,    llarry.- 
"Down    10    Flat    Lake." 
"Arc  there  any   wt)lves  there?" 
"L.^ed  to  be.     Should  be  some  yet." 
In    this    fashion    conversation    was    carried 
on  uniil  about  three  miles  out.  when  we  came 
lo  the  lake,  so-called,  but  which  was.  in  real- 
ity._aJar4j;£_.n_aj_yvhh  a  _ 
grass   about    eighteen    inches    high. 
was    anv    water    there    it    was    below    the    sur- 
face of  the  soil. 

After  calling  the  dogs  and  getting  ihem  to 
jump  into  the  back  of  the  sleigh,  where  they 
were  held  by  a  hand  on  each  collar,  we  pro- 
ceeded to  drive  through  the  lake,  in  the  mean- 
time keeping  a  sharp  lookout  for  wolves. 

Upon  enquiry  I  found  that  the  reason  for 
putting  the  dogs  in  the  sleigh  was  that  a  team 
can  get  much  nearer  a  wolf  than  a-  dog  or  a 
man  on  foot  can  get.  and  as  the  wolf  i.s^^almost 
if  not  quite  a  match  for  a  hound  in  speed,  it  is 
necessary  to  get  as  close  a  start  ^s  possible, 
as  sometimes  a  wolf  will  even  then  get  away 
bv   sheer  s]3eed. 

.\fter  aljout  half  an  hour's  traveling  we 
were  r'ewarded  by  catcliing  a  glimpse  of  a 
covote  sneaking  through  the  long  grass  to  our 
right.  As  the  dogs  were  unable  to  notice  the 
wolf,  we  therefore  decided  to  circle  around  and 
gradually  force  Mr.  VVolf  to  the  edge  or  to 
more  open  cover.  After  considerable  manoeu- 
vring this  was  accomi)lished.  and  one  of  the 
dogs  caught  sight  of  him.  and  with  startling 
>uddenncss  sprang  out  and  away  in  hot  pur- 
.suit.  One  of  the  party  who  held  "Xick,"  the 
eighty-five  pounder  dog,  went  o\er  the  side  of 
the  .sleigh  inl(3  the  snow  on  his  head  as  the,_ 
dog  did  not  take  time  to  tell  him  to  let  go. 
The  wolf  took  one  look  around  and  tliat  was 
enough,  as  "lie  then'put  on  his  high  speed  gear 
and  struck  for  the  horizon  with  the  three  dogs 
strung  out  behind  him  in  hot  pusuit.  Talk 
about  horse  racing!  This  was  a  race  that  there 
was  no  holding  back  in. 

"They  are  gaining  on  him  !" 
"N'lt,  they  are  not !" 
"Yes.  they  are!'' 

Sure  en9Aigh  they  were:  soon  the  dogs  were 
almost  within  grabbing  distance,  and  the  wolf 
dodged  to  the  right.  The  hounds  wheeled 
and  spread  out  as  they  recognized  this  as  an 
old  trick  of  the  coyote's.  .Again  the  wolf 
dodged,  but  this  time  it  was  to  dash  right  in 
front  of  a  hound,  wdio  seized  him  before  he 
could  break  away.  The  other  two  dogs  had 
closed  in,  and  all  we  could  see  was  a  flurry  of 
snow,  which  told  us  that  the  fight  was  on. 
The  horses  were  at  once  put  on  the  gallop  and 
we  were  soon  on  the  spot,  where  we  found  the 
wolf  unable  to  stand  and  some  of  the  dogs 
showing  bloody  marks  on  their  noses  where 
the  wolf  had  used  his  fangs.  It  was  now  ne- 
cessary to  pull  the  dogs  off.  as  they  would 
tear  the  hide,  and  the  wolf  was  put  out  of 
misery  with   a  club.  •' 

After  throwing  the  carcass  in  the  sleigh, 
we  loaded  in  the  dogs  and  away  we  wei\t  in 
search  of  more  game.  In  a  short  time  we  lo- 
cated another  wolf  and  the  consequent  chase 
and  capture  was  but  a  repetition  of  the  first. 
We  then  turned  the  horses  homevyard, 
pleased  with  our  afternoon's  sport.— J.  L.  Kyle

WINTER 


had  no  separate  fingers,  didn''t  get  in  the  way 
when  we  tried  to  pull  the  trigger,  the  rabbit's 
chances  were  ■  somewhat  slim.  Once  'Peter 
Sanborn  saw  a  rabbit  while  he  'was  loading  his 
gun  and  shot  it  with  the  ramrod  in  his  ex-; 
citement.  I  saw  him  do  it,  but  we  could  never 
convince  anybody  else. 

How  cold  and  still  and  dark  those  Decem- 
ber woods  used  to  be!     A'et  how  brightly  the 
trailing   evergreen   used    to   peep   through    tl^e 
snow  in  sunny  clearings,  and  the  red  eye-ber- 
ries where  the  partridges  had  scratched  them 
u|».     The   rabbits   were  thickest   ia  the  stands 
of    \cty   y(umg   j)inc    on    tjie    edge   of  the   big 
woods,   and    as    we    followed    the   fresh    tracks 
through  the  tangle  the  branches  brushed  their 
"frosty  pepper"  in  our  noses.     Sometimes  we 
hunted  in  couples  and  ihe  dogs  went  with  us. 
baying  down  the  forest  aisles  or  through  the 
thickets.      Sometimes    we    went    quite     alone, 
and  those  were  the  times  T  remember  best;  for 
then  there  was  a  certain  chill  and  lonelv  maj- 
esty in  the  woorls  which  made  one  almost  for- 
get rabbits  for  a  time,  and  though  the  old  gun 
was    held    in    readiness    and    th?    eves    uncon- 
sciously rested  in  the  undergrowth,  it  was  the 
mournful  whisper  of  the  wind  your  ears  heard 
— llkca  voice  waiTderuTg  amul  the  dusk  of  th» 
pines  and  hemlocks. 

„  Your  gun  finally  spoke  with  a  tremendous 
reverberation,  and  nearly  kicked  your  shoulder 
out  of  joint.     But   the   little   brown   body  lay 
.still  on   the  snow  and  made  red  spots.     How 
warm  it  was!     Somehow  a  gulp  of  pity  used 
to  choke  you,  even  in  those  days,  even  as  you 
were   loading  up   again  !     Coming  home  with 
your  bag  was  a  wonderful  experience,  one  of- 
those  experiences  wdiich  He  away  in  the  mem- 
ory,   never    quite    forgotten — a   cool,     solemn, 
brooding  pictu||  which  long  years  after  may 
cause  you  to  wander  blind  upon  a  city  street — 
as  1   did   today.     A   frail,  chill  green' was  the 
sunset,  just  tinged  with  orange  where  it  melt-^ 
ed  into  the  upper  blue.     The  dark  woods  were 
behind    you.      In    front    the    stubble   field  and 
then  the  pasture  lay  under  snow  and  a  purple 
veil  hung  in  the  orchard  as  you  came  throug'h. 
in  all   the   world  there  was  no  sound,  and  it 
was  very  cold.     It  was  a  lonely,  solemn,  dead 
world  and  spoke  of  strange  things  disturbing- 
ly.    Then  suddenly  your  dog  barked  and  you 
saw  below  the  orchard  ridge  the  red  window 
squares  of  home.     The  evening  lamps  were  lit. 
Behind   you   was-  coming  on   the   night.     The 
last  green  was  fading  in  the  west.     The  even- 
ing  lamps   glowed   brighter  fed.     A'our   boots 
squeaked 'in  the  snow  as  you  hastened  toward 
those  friendly  squares  of  light. 

On  such  another  day  we  brought  home  the 
Christmas  tree  out  of  the  dark  forest  to  the  red 
glow  of  our  evening  lamps  and  hearth.  Never 
so  much  as  in  December  was  our,  house  a 
friendly  refuge  amid  a  loved  but  lonely  Na- 
ture which  after  all  led  a  separate  existence  of 
its  own.  The  solemn  green  sunset  drew  the 
spirit  out,  IIt"  warm  red  glow  drew  in  and 
wrapped  it  round  protectingly.  And  both  6cl- 
ventures  were  thrilling.  And  neither  happens 
any  uiord»v-which  i.s  one  of  the  many  tragedies 
of  growing, up. — Walter  Prichard  Eaton  in

A  WOODSER 


I  came  by  a  market  today,  and  paused  to 
look  in  the  window  dressed  for  the  holidays. 
There  were  chickens  and  guinea  fowl  and  tur- 
keys garnished  with  holly,  and.  in  a  corner, 
their  poor  limbs  stretched  out,  the  brown 
bodies  of  two  rabbits.  I  looked  at  them  with  a 
gulp  of  pity,  wild  things  brought  to  this  ig- 
nominious end  in  a  city  market  Yet  ei^en  as 
I  gazed,  jostled  by  the  hurrying  crowds,  mem-

"big  woods."     He  does  not  go  there  to 
hunt  or  fish  beyond  the;  physical

in  1361.  He  was  a  member  of 
Merton  College,  a  master  of  arts,  a  bachelor  in 
theology  and  a  doctor  of  medicine.  The 
Fourteenth  Century  English  physician  could 
enter  upon  practice  without  any  other  knowl- 
edge than  that  derived  from  books.  Gadj 
desden's  chief  work,  the  "Rose  Anglica,"  is 
mentioned  by  Chaucer  as  forming  part  of  the 
library  of  his  typical  physician;  it  was  written 
about  1314  and  was  printed  first  in  1492  at 
Pavia. 

The  author,  "impbring"  those  who  see  his 
work  "not  to  gnaw  it  with  an  envious  tooth, 
but  to  read  it  through  humbly,"  explains  his 
choice  of  title — "on  account  of  five  append- 
ages which  belong  to  the  rose. 

.  "And  as  the  rose  overtops  all  flowers,  so 
the  book  overtops  all  treatises  on  the  practice 
of  medicine,  and  it  is  written  for  both  poor  and 
rich  surgeons  and  physicians,  so  that  there 
shall  be  no  nectl  for  them  to  be  always  run- 
ning to  consult  othtjr  books,  for  here  they  will 
find  pU'iiiv  ahoiit  all  curable  disease,  both 
from  the  special  ancF  tFe  geiiefaT  "poi"t  of 
view," 

Gaddesden  is  strong  on  toothache,  lie  re- 
commends eating  frogs  to  those  whose  tectli 
require  to  be  extracted. 

"He  does  not  profess,"'  Dr.  Cholmeley 
points  out,  "to  have  personal  knowledge  of  the 
efficacy  of  this  remedy  in  human  beings,  but 
he  adds  as  a  proof  that  cattle  lliat  eat  these 
frogs  in  the  grass  lose  all  their  teeth.  'I'hat 
tree  frogs  do  not  live  in  the  grass  is  a  small 
mJatter  which  does  not  trouble  him,  and,  most 
likely,  the  mediaeval  patient  would  prefer  a 
trial  of  this  remedy  to  the  mo^e  purely  surgi- 
cal one  recommended — namely,  to  destroy  the 
tooth,  'style  fcrreo  ignito.'  This  being  ap- 
plied; the  tooth,  'post  allquod  tempus  candit  in 
frusta.'  Sundry  charms  for  toothache  are  also 
given,  which  will  be  found  below. 

'"Possibly  the  best  known  passage  in  the 
'Rosa'  is  one  which  occurs  in  the  section  upon 
smallpox  for  the  remedy,  after  having  been  in 
abeyance  for  centuries,  has  now  come  in  again 
in  a  modified  form,  and  has  both  supporters 
and  detractors;  namely,  the  red  light  treat- 
ment. Gaddesden  •.  .  \  met  ,>^:ith,  success  in 
at  least  one  case,  and,  moreover,  his  patient 
was  a  scion  of  royalty.  ...  It  will  be  not- 
iced that  Gaddesden  claims  that  this  treat- 
ment cures  the  disease  and  prevents  pitting  as 
well,  whereas,  the  moderas  w-ho  have  tried  it 
claim  that  it  prevents  pitting,  but  not  that  it 
shortens  the  course  of.  the  disease,  (pia  small- 
pox, but  only  by  preventing  mixed  infection 
from  suppuration." 

The  following  is  a  selection  of  charms  and 
prayers  for  the  cure  of  toothache:  ij 

"Again,  write  these  words  on  the  ja^-v  of 
the  patient:  In  the  name  of  the  Father,  the 
Son    and   the    Holy   Ghost,   Amen.    Plus   Rex, 


plus  Pax,  plus  Nax,  plus  in  Christo  Filio,  and%- 
the  pain  will   cease  at  once,  as   I   have  often 
seen. 

"Again,  whosoever  shall  say  a  prayer  in 
honor  of  St.  Apollonia,  Virgin  (February  9) 
shall  have  no  pain  iui  his  teeth  on  the  day  of 
the. prayer.  Tlie  same  thing  is  said  of  Nicas- 
ius,  the  martyr  (October  ill. 

"Again,  draw  characters  on  parchment  on 
panel,  and  let  the  patient  touch  the  aching 
tooth  with  his  fingers  as  lon^  as  he  is  drawing 
and  he  is  cured.  The  characters  are  made  in 
the  shape  of  running  water  by  drawing  a  con- 
tinuous line,  not  straight,  but  ufi  and  down. 
Three  are  to  be  drawn  in  the  name  of  the 
Blessed  Trinity,  and  this  is  to  be  done  often. 

"Again,  if  the  many  footed  'worm'  whirh 
rolls  up  into  a  ball  when  you  touch  it  is 
pricked  with  a  needle,  and  the  aching  tooth  is 
then  touched  with  the  needle,  the  pain  "will  be 
eased. 

".Xf^ain.  some  say  that  the  beak  of  a  mag- 
I'ie  hung  from  the  neck  cures  pain  in  the  teeth 

"Again,  when  the  (lospcl  f6f**TtTmi^  is 
read  in  the  mass,  let  the  man  hearing  mass 
sign  his  tooth  and  his  head  with  the  sign  of 
the  holy  cross  and  say  a  ]iaicr  noster  and  an 
ave  for- -the-  tit  mis-  -of  -the  -father  and  m-utlier  <.>f 
St.  Phillip,  and  this  without-stopping;  it  will 
keep  them  from  pain  iii'the  future,  and  will 
cure  that  which  may  be  present,  so  say  trust- 
worthy authorities  ('ct  preservat  a  dolore 
dolore  futuro  et  curat  |>resentem,  secundum 
veridicos'). 

"One  of  the  numerous  remedies  for  epil- 
epsy is  as  follows.  The  rationale  of  it  is  in- 
teresting. After  giving  directions  for  a 
cuckoo  to  l)e  roasted  until  it  can  be  powdered, 
he  says  that  the  powder  is  to  be  blown  into 
the  patient's  nostrils  at  the  time  of  the  par- 
oxysm and  he  will  recover.  Or,  the  remedy 
ma\'  be  used  in  food  or  drink  either  liefore  or 
after  the  paroxysm.  .Again,  the  patient  may 
wear  the  head  of  a  cuckoo  suspended  from  his 
neck,  u'hich  will  preserve  liim  from  the  fall, 
or  will  at  least  retard,  or  greatly  alleviate  it. 
T  have  tried  this  remedy,'  he  says,  "with  suc- 
cess in  many  cases  of  children  who  could  not 
take  medicine.  And  the  reason  for  this  do- 
ing good  is  that  the  cuckoo  suffers  from  ejnl- 
epsy  every  month,  and,  therefore,  according 
to  some,,  it  has  a  peculiar  property  of  attract- 
ing the  epileptic  'materia"  to  itself,  just  as 
rhubarb   attracts   the  jaundice    (coleram).' " 

Dislocation  of  the  jaw .  Gaddesden ,  de- 
scribes as  a  rare  accident.  "It  may  occur 
from  direct  violence  or  from  frequent  yawn- 
ing, or  from  trying  too  large  a  mouthful  of 
anvthing.  And,  therefore,  men  bless  them- 
selves when  they  yawn,  lest  this  accident 
shoiild  happen,  or  even  sudden  death"  The 
mention  of  sudden  death  from  yawning,  the 
editor  explains,  is  due  to  the  belief  that  it 
was  possible  for  evil  spirits  to  enter  the  sys- 
tem through  the  cpen  mouth. 

The  book  is  an  interesting  arldition  to  the 
series  of  Oxford  historical  works  on  medicine 
and  surgery. 


TIMES  GO  BY  TURNS 

The  lopped  tree  in  time  may  ^row  again, 
Most  naked  plants  renew    both    fruit    and

The  driest   soil  suck    in    sor^e    moistening

From  foul  to  fair,  from  better  hap  to  worse. 

The  sea  of  Fortune  doth  not  ever  flow; 

She  draws  her  favors  to  the  lowest  ebb; 
Her  tides  have  equal  times  to  come  and  go; 

Her  loom  doth  weave  the  fine  and  coarsest

HE  career  of  Prince  Ferdinand, 
now  King,  tomorrow  perhaps 
Emperor,  is  very  instructive  to 
those  who  would  inform  them- 
selves as  to  the  ways  of  the 
great  ones  of  the  earth,  and  who  do  not  care 
to  read  their  Bible,  which  is  Machiavelli  s 
"The  Prince."  writes  Stephen  Bonsai  m  1  he 
New  York  Sun. 

After  the  kidnapping  of  Prince  Alexander, 
and  his  subsequent  abdication  in  the  face  of 
"the  Czar's  opposition,  the  throne  of  Bulgaria 
had  not  unnaturally  for  some  time  gone  a-beg- 
ging. Tl«  regents,  the  leader  of  whom  was 
Stambouloff,  were  holdi«.g  their  position  ag- 
ainst Russia,  or  at  least  against  General  kaul- 
bars,  with  the  greatest  difficulty.  The  va- 
cant throne  was  refused  by  Prince  Waldemar 
of  Denmark  and  King  Charles  of  Roumama, 
and  the  Bulgarians  refused  to  accept  that 
Prince  of  Mingrella,  whom  the  Turks  init  for- 
ward. 

It  was  at  this  junclurc  that  the  regents 
sent  three  delegates  to  inspect  the  roy;»l 
cadets  of  Europe,  in  their  search  for  an  eli- 
gible prince.  One  of  these  delegates,  Mr. 
Stoileff,  who  afterward  was  .Prime  MinisLer, 
on  several  occasions  told  mc  that  he  had 
-about- given  up  the  ^eaKh.  and,  i>ve}«a.alury 
to  returning  to  his  home  by  the  Orient  ex- 
press on  the  following  day,  was  si)ending  the 
evening  at  Ronachers,  at  the  time  a  famous 
night  cafe  and  vaudeville  theatre  in  Vienna. 
He  was  at  the  end  of  his  (piesi,  and  failure 
stiired  him  in  the  face,  lie  had  gone  over  the 
list  with  his  colleagues,  and  they  were  of  one 
opinion.  The  people  who  were  willing  to 
come  to  Bulgaria  to  secure  what  Bismarck  • 
called  in  his'  famous  conversation  with  the 
Battenburg  Prince  "a  pleasant  souvenir  for 
their  old  age"  were  not  »Hgible.  And  those 
who  were  did  not  want  to  go. 

Everybody  in  the  theatre  knew  the  mis- 
sion of  the  Bulgarian  trio.  It  had  been  car- 
tooned in  all  the  comic  papers.  So  Stoileff  was 
not  surprised  when  a  man  whpse  name  ne 
never  knew,  and  who  he  believed  to  have  been 
a  perfect  stranger  to  him,  at  the  time  now 
came  up  and  sat  down  at  his  table.  ';Von  gen- 
tlemen are  looking  for  a  prince."  he  began  ; 
"why  don't  you  take  .Prince  Long  Nose  over 
there?  We  could  get  along  without  him  splen- 
didly."' 

Prince  Long  Nose,  who  occupied  an  ad- 
jacent table.  \^s  no  other  than  I'rincc  Fer- 
dinand of  Coburg.  then  a  lietitcnant  in  an  .Aus- 
trian hussar  regiment.  l^erdinand  had  no 
love  for  soldiering,  and  he  spent  his  time  stuf- 
fing birds  and  collecting  i  rare  stones  and 
agates.  He  spent  most  of  his  time  at  the 
chateau  of  Ebenthal.  near  Vienna,  v/here  hi> 
widowed  mother,  the  Princess  Clementine, 
lived.  The  unknown  man  and  the  delegate 
of  the  Bulgarian  regents  clinked  glasses,  and 
soon  separated,  but  the  .suggestion  stuck. 
Stoileff  made  enquiry,  and  found  out  that  the 
Princess  Clementine,  a  granddaughter  of  King 
Louis  Philippe,  was  exceedingly  ambitious  for 
her  children,   and   exceedingly   wealthy.     One 


of  her  sons,  the  Count  d'Eu,  had  married  the 
daughter  of  Dom  Pedro  of  Brazil.  Conse- 
quently the  widowed  mother  had  centred  hct 
hopes   and   aspirations   in   the  younger  son. 

Stoileff.  on  the  following  day,  cabled 
Stambouloff  of  his  find,  and  it  is  said  that  the 
leading  regent  immediately  came  incognito  to 
Vienna.  This  "statement  is,  however,  disput- 
ed, and  i  have  no  first-hand  knowledge  of  the 
facts. 

As  soon  as  the  offer  of  the  throne  wa-s 
made,  Prince  Ferdinand  accepted^,  condi- 
tional upon  his  being  elected  ^yjff^^  Grand 
Sobranjc,  or  legislative  chambePTand  condi- 
tional upon  the  approval  of  his  election  by 
the  powers.  Russ-ia  refused  to  recognize  the 
election,  and  Ferdinand  was,  in  the  very  start. 
])laced  under  a  diplomatic  boycott.  Indeed, 
it  was  only  in  1908,  21  years  after  his  acces- 
sion, that  he  received  full  and  general  recog- 
nition of  the  position  h'e  had  made  for  him- 
-tlf.  It  can  be  said  without  fear  of  contra- 
liiclion  that  if  there  ever  was  a  self-made  king 
it  was  and  is  Ferdinand  of  Bulgaria. 

The  Prince  made  no  apparent  effort  to  cut 
the  leading  strings  by  whicli  his  movements 
were  so  oi)£nly  directed  until  in  the  Spring:  of 
1893  he  married  I'rincess  Marie  Louise  of 
Parma,  a  Bourbon,  gifted  with  more  than 
TiTe'av'ef .TJ^g  ab titty  of irer  nrce.  •  Shortly  after=-- 
ward  followed  the  death  in  exile  of  Prince, 
Alexander.  Then  in  January,  1894,  came  the 
birth  of  an  heir.  Prince  Boris,  and  then,  later, 
.another  son,  Prince  Cyril. 

In  .May,  1894,  Ferdinand  at  last  sum- 
moned tlie  courage  to  dismiss  Stambouloff. 
whom  he  had  come  to  regard,  and  with  good 
reascn,  as  the  principal  obstacle  to  his  gen- 
eral recognition  by  Russia,  for  Stambouloff 
had;  fought  Russia  too  long  and  too  unfairly, 
perhaps,  ever  to  be  forgiven.  In  July,  1895, 
while  coming  from  dinner  at  the  club,  Stam- 
bouloff was.  set  upon  by  three  assassins,  who 
well  nigh  cut  him  to  pieces  with  yataghans, 
and  three  days  later  the  e.x-Premier  and 
the  maker  of  modenl  Bulgaria  died. 

The    great    grievance    of     the     Bulgarians 
against   Ferdinancl  was  his  political  sluggish- 
ness,   his   lack   of   what    they    called   patriotic 
enthusiasm.     At  least  on  three  occasions  dur- 
ing the  last  ten  years  the  country  has,  with 
l)r"actical    unanimity,    demanded    that   he   lead 
them,    or    that    he    let    them    lead    themselves 
iiilo  invading  Turkey.     With  wonderful  firm- 
ness of  purpose.  Prince  Ferdinand  has  always 
succeeded  in  holding  them  back.     Perhaps  to- 
day,  in   the   hour   of   their   great   triumph,   to 
which   their   Prince   has   contributed  as   much 
as  any  other  living  man,  they  will  remember 
his  i)ru.dent  counsel,  and  the  mad  adventures 
from  which  he  turned  them'  away.     However, 
whatever  may  be  the  fate  of  Prince  Boris,  the 
heir,   1    fear   Prince   Ferdinand   is   destined   to 
live  and  die  a  stranger  in  a  .strange  land. 

"He  talks  through  his  nose,  while  we  of 
all  men  talk  from  our  bellies  or  our  boots." 
said  one  of  the  King's  officers'  to  me  when  I 
was  last  in  Sofia.  Those  nasal  tones  seem  to 
constitute  the  unpardonable  offence. 


LORD  ROSEBERY'S  JESTS 


Lord  Rosebery,  as  president  of  the  Edin- 
burgh Philosophical  Institution,  presided  at 
the  opening  meeting  of  the  session,  when  Sir 
Gilbert  Parker,  M.P.,  delivered  the  inaugural 
address  on  "Books  and  the  Man." 

Lord  Rosebery,  proposing  a  vote  of  thanks 
to  Sir  Gilbert  Parker,  said  that  he  was  sure 
that  everybody  there  would  agree  that  they 
had  never  in  the  Philosophical  Institution 
heard  a  more  brilliant  or  eloquent  address.  Re- 
ferring to  remarks  of  Sir  Gilbert  Parker,  Lord 
Rosebery  said:  "One  cannot  help  feeling 
when  one  confesses  one  is  Early  Victorian  that 
one  shared  some  of  the  odious  characteristics 
of  everything  of  that  time."  He  must  confes.s 
that  they  were  at  that  time  very  barren  in  art. 
He  did  not  admire  some  of  the  Early  Victorian 
statues.  But  criticizing  sculptors  of  the  pres- 
ent day,  he  added  "they  are  not  satisfied  until 
around,  above,  and.  below  the  figure  there  is  a 
huge  cloud  of  female  figures  of  massive  and 
volumfnous  veiling  and  shrouding  altogether 
the  centtal  figure.  Even  in  the  fine  statue  of 
Queen  Victoria  we  have  in  London,  there  is  a 
huge  mass  of  allegorical  figures  which  do  not 
in  the  least  to  my  mind,  assist  the  effect  of 
the  statue,  but  .seriously  deteriorate  from  its 
general  beauty  and  draw  aside  attention  from 
the  honoircd  figure  of  the  Sovereign  herself." 

Passing  to  the  subject  of  literature,  Lord 
Rosebery  referred  to  newspapers.  He  ex- 
pressed satisfaction  that  they  gave,  with  their 
enormous  mass  of  voracious  intelligence,  a 
grain  or  two  of  literature. 

"They  do  not  always  deal  with  politics  and 
football  ,and  things  of  that  kind."  he  saJd ; 
"They  give  you  recreation.  Two  years  ago— - 
or,  it  may  have  been  last  year — all  the  readers 
of  London  newspapers  were  engrossed  on  one 
topic.  It  absorbed  all  their  r<«;eptivei;icss.  It 
was,  I  think,  whether  you  .should  not  eat  stan-'

N  connection  with  a  scientific  ex- 
pedition which  was  sent  to  the 
northern  territory  of  Australia 
to  study  the  quaint  customs  and 
beliefs  of  the  native  tribes,  a 
"Bulletin,"  written  by  Professor  W.  I'.aldwin 
Spencer,  the  Special  Commissioner,  has  been 
issued  under  the  authority  of  the  Minister  of 
External  Affairs  at  Melbourne. 

This  "Bulletin"  contains  much  valuable  in- 
-formation,  including  accounts  of  the  traditions 
associated  with  "ancestral"  individuals,  and 
the  weird  burial  ceremonies.  With  regard  to 
the  latter,  the  writer  gives  a  graphic  narrative 
of  the  picturesque  obsequies  which  take  place 
when  the  patives  of  the  Melville  Island  tribe 
bury  their  dead. 

On  the  afternoon  on  which  the  ceremony 
to  be  described  took  place  we  had,  says  Pro- 
fessor Spencer,  for  an  hour  or  two  watched 
patiently  a  somewhat  dreary  and  monotonous 
ceremony'  enacted  by  a  small  number  of  Port 
Essington  natives,  and  it  was  somewhat  late 
w^en  we  reached  the  grave,  and  while  waiting 
in  the  scrub  were  surprised  to  hear  suddenly 
a  loud  shout  of  He!  He!  He!  and,  looking 
round,  saw  a  crowd  of  Melville  Island  natives 
about  N300  yards  away,  men,  women,  and  chil- 
dren, all  shouting,  gesticulating  violently. 
They  had  lighted, a  fire,  and  some  of  them 
were  rutining  round  and  round  it  so  as  to 
singe  their  Ifegs. 

It  is  the  fathers,  mothers,  sisters,  and 
mothers'  brothers  who . must  do  this.  .After 
about  five  minutes:  of  this  they  gave  a  sudden 
yeU,  and  .without  an;^  warning  hurled  their 
spcgts  in  the  direction  of  the  grave,  and 
rusiied  up.  The , object  of  this  was  to  drive

painted  black,  which  gave  her  a  very  remark- 
able appearance. 

The  Father's  Dance 

The  performance  opened  with  the  father 
dancing  furiously  round  and  round,  with  his 
hands  clasped  behind  and  his  head  held  back. 
This  particular  dance  is  called  kurupi.  Every 
one  sang.  During  the  course  of  this  and  every 
dance  all  the  men  kept  time  striking  their 
buttocks  with  their  hands  and  stamping  furi- 
ously with  their  right  foot. 

Once  more  the  father  came  on,  this  time 
dancing  right  over  the  grave,  in  and  out  of 
the  grave-posts. 

All  the  others  stood  to  one  side  yelling, 
the  women  being  gathered  at  the  east  end. 
The  third  time  that  he  came  on  he  was  sup- 
posed to  represent  a  crocodile,  and  carried  a 
spear.  He  crouched  down  low  on  the  ground, 
walking  on  hands  and  feet,  with  his  body  ex- 
tended, and  lifting  his  head  every  now  and 
tlien,  peered  about  from  side  to  side  as  of  he 
were  on  the  lookout  for  his  prey.  This  went 
on  for  some  time,  his  acting  being  admirable, 
and  then,  jumping  to  his  feet,  he  was  joined 
by  two  other  men,  one  in  yellow,  the  other 
in  black,  and  together,  with  their  hands  be- 
hind them  and  their  heads  thrown  well  back, 
they  rushed  round  and  round.  "^    ' 

After  a  time  they  slowed  down,  and  then, 
coming  in  from  one  side,  the  women,  lead  by 
the  young  girl,  the  sister  of  the  dead  wo.5[^i|i>s, 
went  into  the  lead  and  solemnly  danced  routtf 
and  round  the  grave-posts.  For  a  Aime  tWe

joined   him.   and   finally   the   women^me  in. 

This  over,  a  man  with  red  hands,  a  brother  of 
the  mother  of  the  dead  woman,  danced  and 
was  followed  by  her  brother  daubed  all  over 
with  black,  and"  then  other  relatives  came  on.. 
pointing  sticks  at  the  grave. 

After  a  rest  the  father     came,     and  after 
dancing  round,  fell  down  flat.    P^our  other  men 

•came  up  with  short,  .spears,  and  looking  about' 
from  side  to  side  in  a^tealthy  way.  crept  ui; 
quietly  while  he  slepr  and  suddenly  speareu 
him  in  the  chest.  .  He  writhed  about  on  the 
ground,  while  all  the  mien  and  women  danced 
around.  After  a  pause,  the  father  and  the 
yellow  and  black  painted  men,  dancing,  ges- 
tiulating  violently  and  yelling,  thrust  small 
spears  into  the  graveside,  and  when  thi.s,  fol- 
lowed by  the  usual  lubras,  dance,  was  over, 
the  yellow-ochred  man  performed  a  prolonged 
dance  with  frenzied  movements,  stamping  and 
yelling  and  raising  the  dust  as  he  pounded 
round  and  round,  urged  on  by  the  yelling  and 
stamping  of  the  excited  audience,  until,  ut- 
terly exhausted,  he*  tumbled  down  to  one  side. 
Even  then  the  dance  was  taken  up  by 
three  others,  two  rushing  round  one  way  and 
the  third  the  other.  It  wfas  now  late  in  the 
afternoon;  the  sun  was  low,  and  the  shafts  of 
yellow  light  cast  long  shadows  from  the  gum- 
trees  on  the  group  of  weird  figures  d*n«ing 
wildly  in  the  dyst.  At  length  the  perfc|rmance 
came  to  a  dose.  All  the  men  took  part  in  a 
wild  dance  round  and  round  the  grave,'  iQiei. 
women  more  slowly  moving  around  on  the 
outside  until,  suddenly,  the  rfien  bent 
down,  yelled  at  the  grave  with  all  their  might, 
and  the  ceremony  was  over.  There, was  cer-*, 
talnly  not  the  slightest  indication  ot  anythirig 
like  sorrow.  Everybody  was  excited,  but  bp-

.Arthur  Evans  at  Knossos.  It  is  round  King 
Minos  and  his  palace  that  is  woven  the  tan- 
talizing legend  of  the  Minotaur  and  the  Laby- 
rinth, of  Perseus  and  Ariadne.  The  lantern 
.slides  showed  the  palace  plans,  the  theatre,  the 
five  flights  of  steps  to  the  Queen's  chamber, 
and  the  bathroom,  the  olive  press,  and  the 
street  of  royal  storehouses  with  jars  decorated 
in  the  Egyptian  style.  In  the  Throne  Room, 
with  its  .•Sturdy  Minoan  columns,  there  still". 
stands  the  rude  stone  throne  which  Mr.  Ban-  • 
ister  Fletcher  described  as  "the  oldest  throne 
in  Europe."  and  of  which  there  is  a  model  in 
the  British  Museum.  Crete  ruled  the  seas  and 
surrounding  islands,  and  established  peace  and 
safety  for  commerce  by  the  .strength  of  her 
navy,  and  thus,  among  all  the  excavations  on 
the" islands,  there  are  no  traces  of  fortifica- 
tion, though  there  are  many  traces  of  good 
sanitation.  The  palace  seems  to  have  been 
quite  "up  to  date"  with  its  tapering  rain-pipes, 
socketed  into  one  another,  much  as  they  would 
be  in  our  own  enlightened  days  of  sanitary 
hygiene.

F  anyone  had  asked  the  Chief 
Officer  what  he  looked  upon  as 
the  supreme  moment  of  the  whole 
long  voyage  out  and  home, 
no  doubt  he  would  have  re- 
plied by  naming  just  this  evening.  That 
is,  of  course,  providing  he  could  give 
you  a  definition  out  of  liand,  vvliich  he 
might  not  be  abte  to  do.  being  of  a 
turn  of  mind  rather  practical  than  analytical, 
especially  with  regard  to  his  own  day's  work. 
There  were  people  on  board  who  said  that  he 
had  not  enjoyed  his  sleep  since  leaving  Liver- 
pool, bv  reason  of  looking  forward  to  it;  and, 
although  that  might  be  exaggerated  a  tntle, 
the  slate  of  the  case,  I  am  inclined  lo  think 
that  his  heart  might  well  be  a  little  lighter  al- 
ter the  matter  was  over. 

There    were   a   good    many    points    to    bear 
in  mind.     To  begin  with,  the  gear  and   tackle 
were  new,  and  had  never  been  put  to  .so  severe 
a   test.      Moreover,   our    friend   the   Chief   Of- 
ficer   had— in    this    as   in    a    number    of   other 
eases— lo   combine   with   his  strictly  seafaring 
qualificatH.uV-,   those   of   a   boss   stevedore    and 
derrick  engineer.     And  then  again— and  here- 
in lies  the'great  handicaj)  under  which  the  ot- 
fi.ge.r  in   the  merchant   >cr\  ic-j   1 
comparison  with  his  bruilici 
Ensign— he  has  to  supervise-  and  watch  every 
detail,  personallv   direct  people  in   four  places 
at  once,  and  bawl  himself  hoarse  while  so  do- 
ing.'     Me    has    not    at    disposal    the    combined 
trained   intelligence,   the   perfectly  drilled  s 
men,   the    experienced    petty     olticers    of 
Royal  Navy.     On  the  contrary,  but  for  a  very 
mnall  percentage,  his  work  must  be  carried  out 
by  men  of  no  special  training-somctimcs,  ol 
poor    physique-the    average     "scratch     crew 
into   vvhich    (owing  to   short-sighted   and   n.g- 
-ardly  policy  both   on  the  part  of  the  nation 
and  the  indi'vidual)   the  personnel  ot  the  mer- 
chant service   is  beginning  to   decline. 

\nd  in  addition  to  these  various  points, 
there  i-^  also  the  likelihood  that  an  accident 
mav  mean  his  being  cold-bloodedly  and  mer- 
cilessly broke,  with  no  appeal  to  court-martial, 
inquiry  or  other  form  of  trial. 

To  return  to  the  main  issue,  |iowever,  the 
i^VatteT  in  question  was  the  tran.^fernng  ot  a 
couple  of  snip's  boilers  from  the  hold  ot  a 
Blue  Funnel  Imer  to  a  scow  lying  waiting  un- 
der her  port  side.  It  doesn't  sound  much,  mere- 
ly so  stated.  But  to  anyone  watching  the 
whole  business  through,  it  was  not  without  a 
touch  of  romance  in  its  way— such  romance  as 
must  always  belong  to  the  labor  and  energy  ot 
men's  daily  lives  if  one  chooses  to  look  for  it ; 
and  with  it  a  little  of  the  new-old  spell  of  the 
sea. 

It  is  a  moot  point,  from  one  point  of  view, 
whether   the    Blue    Funnel     liners    have    not 
reached  the  very  height  of  (to  say  the  least  ot 
it)  lack  of  beauty.  I  have  only  once  met  a  man 
—and   he   was   an   engineer    from     Lancashire 
with   a   pronounced  "bump   of  contrariness  — 
who  really  disputed  their  ugliness.    In  the  cold 
\\aht  of  middle  day,  one  of  these  vessels    ying 
at^'her  moorings— with  her  straight  gaunt  black 
sides,  and  the  twin  masts   (known  to  the  dis- 
respectful as  the  "!5;oalposts"  or  the  "gallows  ) 
standing  up  s-juarc  and  uncompromising,  and 
with    perhaps    a    week    or    twos    harbor    dirt 
about  her— cannot  hope  to  please  the  aesthete. 
Well    after  all— it  was  never  yet  to  please 
the   aesthete  ihat   men   had   their   business   in 
great   waters.      And    there   are   more    ways  of 
beauty  than  one. 

These  big  cargo  vessels  have  a  sort  of 
-;^,Kged  splendor  of  their  own.  Their  gaunt- 
ne«s  and  bleakness  of  outline ;  their  absence  of 
rrraceful  curve,  of  rich  detail;  are  somehow 
transmuted,  and  a  kind  of  secret  dignity  re- 
vealed by  the  magic  influence  of  the  sea— ot 
the  great  world  of  waters  through  which  they 
move,  and  from  which  they  receive  this  strange 
dower  of  mystery. 

They  have  their  purple  moments  when  they 
heave   up   dark   and   silent   over   the   summer 
horizon,  drawing  in  to  port  as  the  day  fades 
away— a  'lamp   glimmering   here   and    there- 
cabins     chart-house    and     bridge     luminously 
\vhite  in  the  twilight.     There  is  a  queer  thrill 
of  adventure,  of  expectation  about  that  .silent 
coming-on  of  the  dark  bulk;  her  engines  hard- 
ly pulsing  as  she  slides  in  to  her  berth,  an  order 
floating  down  from  the  high  bridge  now  and 
then,   afl4   crowding  along   the   lower  rails   a 
throng  of  yellow  idol-like  faces  like  old  ivory, 
n-hence   comes  a   hoarse   gutteral    murmur  of 
many  voices  in  a  .<;trange  tongue. 

And  I  caught  the  big  .<?hip  on  this  same  oc- 
casion in  another  of  her  elusive  moments. 

It  had  been  raining,  and  the  decks  were 
shining  wet.  The  sky  was  grey  and  cloudy 
over  a  grey  .sea,  where  grey  gulls  were  call- 
ing. Dusk  wa.s  just  coming  on,  and  lights 
began  to  gleam  faintly  from  the  shore,  and 
the  buoy  oitt  on  the  channel,  and  at  the  mast- 
head of  a  freighter  .sliding  out  of  the  harbor. 
At  the  head  of  the  wharf  there  were  boys  fish- 
ing, and  their  voices  came  to  one  now  and 
then  on  the  chill  breeze. 

By  contrast  with  this  quiet  dove-colored 
setting,  the  brief  thrill  of  the  unloading 
seemed  all  the  more  marked.  The  dark  was 
coming  oti  fast,  and  the  chief  officer  wanted 
to  f?et  the  boilers  override  before  it. 

First,  the  biR  derricks  hid  to  be  swung  out, 
«U  rop«s  and  pulleys  ninnin|f<lc«r.  before  the  ^ 
t»ilg  bitlk  could  be  handled.^  ^Qtsttiphv*  Aim-  ^

handling  might  cau.se  a  disaster  just  a  little 
too  terrible  to  contemplate. 

When  all  was  in  order  aloft  came  the  time 
for  the  hatchciJ  to  be  opened,  revealing  the 
dark  chasm  of  the  fore-hold,  the  boilers  with 
the  I'aisley  founders'  name  ou  them,  and  men 
moving  about  below,  and  looking  very  small 
and  insignificant  there  in  the  great  bowels  of 
the  ship. 

The  tackle  was  soon  adjusted  to  rtill  out 
the  boiler  into  the  centre  of  the  tank  before  the 
real  tug-of-war  came— before  the  moment 
which  was  to  enable  the  chief  officer  to 
bi'eathc  freely,  or — fi.)r  there  is  a  possible  "or", 
as  there  is  in  most  things,  il  jilain  f"lk  fail  of 
their  duly. 

It  looks  very  easy,  very  easy  and  simple; 
"nothing  to  it."  as  they  say  in  Canada.  A 
case  of  pressing  the  button,  in  a  manner  of 
speaking;  von  make  the  thing  fa.^t  to  the  pow- 
erinl  machinery,  and  let  the  engines  do  ilie 
rest !  .^nd  a  happy  man  would  the  Chief  Of- 
ficer be  if  it  were 'so;  if  he  had  not  to  watch 
here,  there  and  everywhere  with  the  prover- 
bial "eves  in  ihc  back  of  hisjiead,"  controlling, 
guiding,  directing  all  the  time;  testing  the  ten- 
sion of  a  guy  with  a  practiced  hand.  and_ seeing 
that  every  rope  and  bit  of  tackle  has  its  due

the  word  comes  to  •"Heave  away  all.''  with  ii.'T 
answering  echo  of  "heaye^,  away,  sir,'  'from  all 

Slowly,  vers-  slo\^^n'e  huge  thing  begins 
l<j  trcmlde.  to 'stir,  to  be  heaved  up  from  its 
resting-place;   the  tackle   cracking  and 


-n  no  fewer  than  1,200  pictures  are  taken  in 
one  second,  many  phenomena  which,  by  their 
rapidity,  had  hitherto  defied  satisfactory  ex- 
planation, were  revealed  in  a  leisurely  manner 
that  exposed     Nature's     secret.       Wonderful 
quicker-than-thought   pictures      *\'cre     shown, 
giving,  firstly,  "what  the  eye  sees,"  and  sec- 
ondly, "what   is  really   taking     place."     The 
phenomena  of  a  light  ball  suspended  by  a  jet 
of  water  was  analyzed,  and  revealed  the  ball 
leisurely  submitting  to  a  rotary  action  caused 
by  the  w-aier  particles  projected  from  the  jet. 
Bullets  fired  at  this  jet  came  along  in  a  leis- 
urely manner,  turned  the  particles  out  of  their 
course,   and   cau.sed  the  ball   to   fall.     Before 
the  ball  reached  the  ground,  however,  the  jet 
regained    its    composure,    and    the    ball,    after 
leisurely   rebounding  off  the   jet.   settled   into 
its  original  position.     Equally  wonderful  was 
it  to  sec  a  bullet  leave  the  muzzle  of  a  gun  and 
leisurely   enter  the  bowl   of  a  clay  pipe,  shat- 
tering it  into  fragments. 

Then  for  varfcty  this  learned  audience  was 
taken  behind  the  scenes  in  llie  battle  «.)f  life 
and  death.  Blood  corpuscles  were  seen  strug- 
gling with  tlic  bacilli  oi  various  deadly  dis- 
eases, and  in  another  film  the  policemen  of  the 
blood  were  seen  on  duty  guarding  the  cor- 
puscles from  harm,  and  in  a  sense  dirccang 
ihe  traffi  cthrough  the  veins.  It  was  remarked 
that  this  was  apparently  the  first  time  that 
high  si)ecd  photography  had  been  necessary 
to  illustrate  the  activities  of  a  policeman. 

Professor    Minchin,    F.R.S.,   of   the    Lister 
In.stitutc,   who  briefly   explained   the  subjects 
of  ^Messrs.  Pathe  Freres"  demonstration,  sug-

stops:  the  steam  is  failing  to  do  what  it  is 
needed  to  do. 

"'Vast  heaving  all!"   the  order  goes,   \vith 
its    dropping    fire    of    echoing    answer.      The 
Chief  disappears  to  confer  with  erimy  unseen 
personages  in  dirty  dungarees.     Soon  the  ship 
begins  to  vibrate  as  extra  power  is  crowded  on. 
Heave  away  again,  and  up  she  comes;  with 
a    "Steadv    on' your    port    i;uy    ihercl"    an(l_  a 
"Ilcave  on  your  purchase  !"  uj)  steadily,  begin- 
ning to  spin  as  she  rises  clear  of  the  hatches, 
like   an   enormous  cockchafer   on   a   pin.     'Ihc 
Chief  (Officer's  vigilance  is  needed  just  a  'few 
more  moments,   lest   the   men  at  the   winches 
.':hould   take  the  bit  l)ctwecn   their  teeth,  as  it 
were.  and.   feeling  the  tension  slacken,  shonld

.  WHALE  WAS  CRUSHED 


NATURE  SECRETS  BY  CINEMA 


#.;^?^i:1«! 


The   most    remarkable     animated      picture 
show  yet  given  in  England  was  witnessed  the 
other  day  by  learned  professors  in  all  depart- 
ments  of   art,   .science,   and   literature   at    the 
Royal  Societies'  Club  in  St.  James's,  London. 
For   two   hours  the     cinematograph     juggled 
with   Nature,  at  one  time  hustling  along  her 
slower   processes,   and   at     another     bringing 
within    human    comprehension      for    the    first 
phenomena   and    movements   that   have   hith- 
erto been   regarded   as  quicker  tJian   thought. 
It   was   a   wonderful    and   impressive   sight 
to    witness    this    cosmopolitan    gathering      of 
learned    men    sitting   like   schoolboys   and   ab- 
soibing  the  elementary  in  a  new  phase  of  edu- 
cation.    For  the  time   they  were   schoolboys 
without   tlie   discipline   of   a     ma.ster.       This 
beats  old  Brock  hollow^'  said  one  learned  pro- 
fessor as  a  beautiful  hyacinth  burst  forth  from 
the  unattractive  bulb.     The  remark   escaped 
without  a  subsequent  imposition. 

This  remarkable  demonstration  com- 
menced with  a  hustled  life  history  of  the  sea- 
urchin,  beginning  with  conception  and  con- 
cluding with  a  bolt  by  the  full-grown  organ- 
Ism  for  its  native  element.  This  was  followed 
by  an  equally  remarkable  demonstration  of 
the  development  of  a  seed  into  a  healthy  plant. 
A  grain  of  cpm  burst  its  skin  and  Ihc  louts 
wormed  themselves  amongst  the  earth,  and 
flowers  blooped.  <*rapped  their  petals,  devel- 
oped seedst  and  k  them  fall  to  earth,  io  re-

"This  has  been  a  rough  season,"  stated  the 
mate  of  a  whaler  wdio  returncil  to  the  Scottish 
port  a  few  days  ago.     "W'c  went  up  the  coast 
of  Greenland  lo  Baffin  Bay,  and  passed  Cum- 
berland   Gulf,    where    they    say    the    Uundee 
ketch  Seduisante  went  down.     It  was  towards 
the  end  of.  June  that  we  siglued  our  first-wdiale. 
but  this  wa^  lost  to  us.  being  crushed  between 
tw.)  icebergs.     We.  had  chased  him  for  several 
miles  in   the  small  boat,  and  vVerc   vvondering 
where  he  had  got  to  when  we  sav.-  him  spout- 
ing a    few   hundred  yards  off.     As   we   pulled 
towards    him    he   disappeared,   but    came    into 
view  again  as  the  waves  rose  and   fell,  show- 
ing his  black  back  like  a  rock  in  the  sea.     We 
reckoned    that    he    was    about    eighty    feet    or 
ninety  feet  long.     The  harpooner  got  ready  as 
we   >li<l    near   him,   and   he   was   fixed   with    a 
good  stroke.     After  that  there  was  work  to  do. 
"For  nearly  an  hour  that  boatload  of  men 
were   fighting'ior  their  lives,  and  would  have 
lost  them  at  the  last  had  it  not  been  for  the 
harpooner.   who  cut   the  rope  attached   to  the 
harpoon    in    time.      Not    far    from    wdiere    the 
whale  had  been  sighted  were  two  icebergs,  and 
for  days  the  ship  had  been  threa-ding  its  way 
among-    these    while      ghosts     of     the     .'Vrclic. 
When   the   whale  had  somewhat  exhausted  it- 
self and   ceased   io   lash   the   water   into   foam 
the  cord' attached  to  the  harpoon  was  pulled  in 
little  bv  little  and  rolled  up.     In  a  few  minutes 
the  enormormous  animal  appeared  on  the  sur- 
face   again    not    far    from    the   boat,    and     the 
whalers  were  preparing  for  the  last  act  in  the 
drama    when    suddenly    the    whale    glided    off 
again,    making    straight    for    the    narrow^    pas- 
sage between  the  two  icebergs.    The  boat  was 
being  dragged   behind,   and,   to   the   horror   of 
the   whalers,   thev   saw   that   the   swell   of   the 
ocean  was  bringi'ng  the  two  icebergs  close  to- 
gether.     Already    the    whale   had    entered   the 
narrowing  opcning-between  the  two  masses  of 

ice. 

"With  a  sweep  of  the  axe  one  of  the  crew 
severed  the  rope,  and  immediately  every  oar 
was  in  the  water  to  stop  the  speed  of  the  b.iat. 
They  managed  it  in  time.  The  two  icebergs 
cra.s'hed  together  with  a  tremendous  noice, 
smashing  the  whale  to  a  pulp,  and  sending 
showers  of  sprav  and  small  particles  of  ice 
over  the  sea.  O'ne  of  the  whalers  was  cut  in 
the  hand  by  a  fragment.  And  the  whale  was 
lost." 

"It's  not  an  uncommon  accident,"  said  the 
mate.     "I  have  heard  it  said  that  as  many  as 
twenty  whales  have  gone  down  in  Baffin  Sea 
in  tha't  way  in  a  single  summer.  ^^I  once  saw  a 
ketch  flatt'ened  by  two  icebergs." 
.     Many  of.  the  wdialers  employ   Eskimos  to 
hunt  with  them,  and  many  of  these  dwellers  of 
the  North  speak  English  fairly  well.    They  get 
certain  parts  of  the  catch  as  their  share  of  the 
chase,  and  they  wait  patiently  every  summer 
for  the  ships  coming  from  the  South,  for  the 
sailors   bring   them   presents   of  tobacco   and 
other  trinkets  cvefy  year.    All  along  the  coasts 
from  Greenland  to  Alaska  the  natives  wait  for 
the  summer  months,  which  bring  the  ScotUsh 
walrus  hunters.    Each  man  has  a  gun,  and  they 
crawl  stealthily  over  the  ice  till  they  are  near 
enough  to  shoot  the  drowsy  walrus.  Occasion- 
ally a  man  is  attacked.    One  Eskimo  slipped 
off  the  floe  in  amongst  a  fightitig,  struggling 
herd  of  walruses.    It  was  deep  water,  and  he 
was  soon  lost,  his  coijipanions  b«ii»g  unable  to 
save  him.  ,

continuous  activity,  physical  and 
intellectual.        In    other    wordS; 
keep  going  and  you     will     stay 
young.        This     advice,       which 
somehow   docs   not   sound   altogether   new*  is 
given  in  an  article    in  the  Deutsche    Revue.. 
(Berlin,  October),  By  Dr.  Hugo  Ribbert,  of 
Honn,   Germany,  author  of  a  recent  book  01? 
"Death    from  Old  Age."     Dr.  Rjbbert's  co^- 
clusion  is  supported  by  popular  empirical  evi- 
dence, to  the  effect  tliat  the  retirement  of  an 
elderly  man  from  active  business  is  apt  to  be 
followed    by   rapid   "aging"     or   early     death. 
The  author  arrives  at  it  through  a  painstak- 
ing study   of  cell-growth   and   tissue-budding. 
He  acknowledges,  to  start  with,  that  the  aboli- 
tion of  death  is  not  as  undesirable  as  it  is  im- 
possible, since  it  would  result  in  a  static  con- 
dition  of   mankind,   and   he   then   proceeds   to 
inquire  whether  the  ills  of  the  flesh  to  which 
old  age   is  heir  may   be   ameliorated,  and  or- 
ganic decay  modified  and  retarded.     To  con- 
sider the  body  as  a  machine  which  is  gradually 
worn  out  in  the  course  of  years  is  an  imperfect 
analogy,  since  it  possesses  the  power  of  self- 
renewa'l     Moreover,  the  phenomena  of  senility 
are    typical,    and    their    character    and    degree 

vary    widA.'.lv    in    different individuals.      'The 

theory  of  Metclmikoff  that  old  age  i,s  due  to 
auto-intoxication  from  decaying  matter  in  the 
colon,  the  author  considers  untenable,  since 
"it  is  :in  impossible  conception  that  any  organ 
can,  as  such,  injure  the  organism."  He  points 
out  that  if  it  were  really  possible  to  dispense 
with  the  colon,  it  would,  as  in  the  case  of  other 
organs  that  are  no  longer  useful,  degenerate 
and  grow  smaller;  but  this  does  not  occur. 
In  certain  cases  he  admits  that  "the  investiga- 
tions of  ?^Tetchnikoff  may  be  worth  considera- 
tion." Such  cases,  however,  fall  _  under_  the 
head  of  di.sease,  not  of  mere  senility.  Since, 
therefore,  extraneous  causes,  whether  without 
the  body  or  within  it,  are  excluded  as  the  ori- 
gin of  old  age.  we  must  look  for  its  cause  to 
alteration  of  the  cells  involved.  It  has  been 
observed,  in  fact,  that  the  cells  gradually  be- 
come '^mailer  and  that  consequently  the  loss  of 
c^nbstance  occasioned  by  the  exercise  of  their 
functions  ecases  to  be  fully  restored,  as  in 
earlier  veai:,s,.  bv  new  material  derived  from 
the  food.     But,  he  goes  on  : 

"An  expl?}nation  of  old  age  can  not  be  de- 
rived from  this  alone.  For,  in  spite  of  their 
nctivitv.  the  cells  remain  in  their  prime  for 
five  or  six  decades,  and  then  begin  to  4eclmc. 
Why  does  restoration  cease  at  this  period?  In 
the 'answer  to  this  lies  the  explanation  of  eld 
atre  We  must  at  present  content  ourselves 
with  the  conception  that  inherited  tendencies 
exist  in  the  cells  which  permit  a  plenitude  of 
life  for  a  long  time,  but  finally  cease  to  be  op- 
erative, just 'as  a  watch  runs  a  certain  length 
of  time  and  then  stops." 

Another  phenomenon  is  observed  in  this 
connection  which  becomes  operative  much 
sooner  than  the  decrease  in  the  cells.  Says 
Dr.  Ribbert: 

"As  early  as  the  twentieth  year  we  observe 
in  many  sorts  of  cells  the  appearance  of  min- 
ute yelhnv  granules,  whose  quantity  so  in- 
creases in  age  as  to  give  the  organ  a  brown- 
ish appearance  even  to  the  naked  eye." 

These  the  author  thinks  we  must  regard 
as  a  sort  of  slag,  or  ashes,  arising  from  meta- 
bcdic  action,  and  gradually,  by  their  accumula- 
tion   affecting  the  activities  of  the^  cells     and 


is  a  temporary  thing  wTtich  obviously  has,  on 
the  Whole,  nothing  fo  do'wdth  the  rejuvenation 
of  the  body.  Moreover,  the  new  tissue  does 
not  even  retain  greater  youthfulness." 

Dr.  Ribbert  remarks  that,  after  all,  the  re- 
juvenation of  bone  and  connective  tissue  arc 
cnmparativelv  unimportant  to  the  present  in- 
quiry. The  really  significant  cells  are  those 
of  the  heart-muscle  and  the  cerebral  ganglia, 
and  these  have  not  yet  been  seen  to  repair 
losses  of  substance  even  in  the  case  of  young 
and  vigorous  subjects.     However: 

"An  observation  of  the  heart-muscle  in 
certain  cases  carries  us  a  step  further. 

"As  remarked  above,  the  cells  of  the  aging 
body  are  distinguished  by  the  deposit  of  tiny 
yellow  granules.    This  is  particularly  the  case 
in   the   muscle-cells   of  the  heart.      But   if   we 
examine  a  heart  one  side  of  which  has  had  to 
work   harder   than    the   other,   and   has   there- 
fore  become   stronger,   or,   as   we   say,   hyper- 
trojdiic,   we   note   a   marked  difference   in   the 
deposit   of   these    granules.       The      thickened 
heart-wall   lias  considerably  fewer.     .     .     .     ,^, 
Tliis  can  come  only  from  one  of  two  causes. 
[t  is  possible  that  the  granules,  which  were  de- 
posited before  the  thickening  of  the  heart-wall 
have  been  removed — washed  away,  as  it  were 
— by  the  greater  activity  of  the  muscle,  which 
accompanied  the  fuller  saturation  of  the  cells. 
Or,  if  t;he  hypertrophy  had  alre"a<ly  begun  be- 
fore the  deposit  of  the  yellow  granules     was 
very  large,  their  deposit  may  have  been  pre- 
vented  by   the   removal   of   the  matter     from 
which  they  are  formed,  by^eason  of  the  great- 
er activity  and  better  blood  supply. 

"The  first  possibility  interests  ms  most,  i.e., 
the   lessening  of  the  granules   in  the  already 
aged  fibres.     It  shows  that  the  cells  may  re- 
turn to  former  conditions  in  their  structure." 
Possibly,  Dr.  Ribbert  thinks,  we  may     ue 
successful  in  thus  retarding  the  progress     of 
cell  alteration  in  the  aging  body,  but  he  warns 
us  that  success  requires  a  sound  and  healthy 
body  in  wdiich  the  symptoms  of  age  are  purely 
physiological   and   not   superinduced     by   dis- 
ease.    At  the  very  least  both  heart  and  brain 
must  be  perfectly  .sound.     With  this  proviso 
he  believes   it  entirely   feasible  to   retard   the 
deposit  of  the  yellow  granules  and  the  decrease 
in   the  size  of  the  cells  which   mark  senility. 
The  means  to  this  end  lie  in  a  continuous  func- 
tional activity.     He  declares: 

"When  any  one  exercises  constantly  and 
vigorously  he  has  a  much  better  outlook  for 
maintaining  functional  activity  in  old  age  than 
if  he  yields  prematurely  to  an  inclination  for 
repose  and  lessened  activity.  Incomplete 
functioning  permits  ^the  cells  to  -become 
smaller." 

Here  again  the  heart 'offers  an  excellent 
illustration.  It  not  infrequently  occurs  that 
the  left  side  has  diminished  work  to  perform 
in  consequence  of  a  narrowing  of  the  mitral 
valve.  In  such  cases  the  left  wall  becomes 
thinner  and  even  in  early  years  a  marked  de- 
posit of  yellow  granules  is  seen,  such  as 
usually  is  observed  only  in  old  age.  In  con- 
clusion Dr.  Ribbert  assures  us: 

"Unceasing  labor  longest  preserves  the 
cells  at  their  zenith.  ...  Its  lack  hastens 
the  development  of  senility."

possibly  causing  their  decrease  in  size.  Is  it 
possible  lo  retard  this  action  in  any  way,  thus 
restoring  vouth,  in  a  measure,  to  the  aged? 
Dr  Ribbert  finds  ground  for  hope  in  an  exam- 
ination of  the  property  inherent  in  certain 
plants,  as  in  the  begonia,  of  producing  the  en- 
tire piant  from  the  green  cells  of  a  single  leaf. 
He  says  of  this:    ■ 

"All  the  properties,  therefore,  which  dis- 
tinguish the  entire  organism  must  be  present 
in  the  leaf-cells.  But  most  of  these  are  com- 
monly not  apparent.  They  retreat  behind  the 
properties  which  are  dominant  in  the  green 
cells.  Hence  when  the  new  plant  is  produced 
from  these,  the  differentiation  must  disappear, 
and  all  the  quahties  must  be  present  in  equal 
degree.  This  may  indeed  be  called  a  rejuven- 
ation." .  .  , 
A   similar  process  is  sometimes  observed 

in  animal  life: 

"In  tritons,  when  the  lens  of  the  eye  is  re- 
moved by  an  operation,  a  new  lens  is  grown. 
It  is  pr6duced  from  the  cells  covering  the  iris, 
which  are  distinguished  by  the  presence  of  a 
fine-grained     brown     pigment.       .     .     These 
brown  granules  first  disappear,  the  cells  re- 
turn to  their  former  colorless  state,  and  the 
new  lens  is  then  produced.     .    .    .    This  may 
be  fairly  termed  regeneration,  ».e.,  restoravron 
of  lost  tissue.    ...    In  ordinary  connective 
•tissue    .  -.    •    the  cells  are  remarkably  insigni- 
ficant; usually  their  outHne  it  not  perceived, 
but  only  that  of  the  nucleus,  which  is  itself 
only  slightly  developed    But  in  the  healing  of 
wounds  these  cells  become  large  again,  as  thepr 
were  in  the  embryo.    In  this  form  they  multi- 
ply and  form  the  new  tissue  by  the  production 
of  connecting  substance.    Then  they  become 
small  again  as  they  were  before.    Or  whfin  a 
iaroken  bone  is  to  be  healed  the  flat  cells  on 
the  inner  surface  alter  their  form,  becoming 
large  and  rounded.    Thty  th|n  look  as  they 
did  in  the  youMihil  period  of  boric-growth;

Mr.  Abbott  H.  Thayer,  an  artist  who  has  j 
given  much  study  to  the^  question,  discusses ; 
the  invisibility  of  icebergs'  at  night  in  the  last 
issue  of  the  bulletin  of  the  Hydrographic  Of- 
fice, says  the  Washington  correspondent  of  1 
The  New  York  Herald,  who  gives  the  follow- ' 
ing  quotation  from  Mr.  Thayer's  article: 

"The  Titanic  and  the  Arizona  ran  into  ice- 
bergs because  of  the  universal  notion  that , 
white  shows  at  nighf  even  against  a  clear  sky. 
Until  this  impressidn  can  be  corrected,  the 
world  will  continue  at  the  mercy  of  the  chance 
of  more  ice  accidents. 

"A  steamer  may  be  close  to  an  iceberg  on . 
a  clear  moonless  nig^t,  often  on  a  moonlight 
night,  without  the  ^Bghtest  sight  of  it.  Any 
observing  person  wSdthas  lived  in  the  country 
knows  perfectly  well  that  snowy  roofs  on  such , 
a  night  are  apt  to  be  indistinguishable  from  the  I 
sky,  and  would  always  be  so  if  they  stood  alone ! 
out  on  a  plain. 

"In  order  to  test  this  matter,  notice  firatj 
that  it  is  the  most  nearly  horizontal  top  sur-i 
faces  of  a  berg,  snovyjr  roof  or  other  white  ob- 
ject that  receive  the  niost  sky  light,  and  con«e-l 
quently  most  nearly  itatch  it.    It  follows  that  j

g^^K- 


'THE   QUAKER   GIRL" 


"The  Quaker  Girl,"  the  great  operetta 
which  chariiTid  all  London  for  two  solid  years 
at  George  Edwardes'  Royal  Adeli)hi  Theatre, 
and  which  played  to  immense  crowds  nightly 
for  a  year  at  the  Park  Theatre  in  New  York, 
is  coming  to  this  city  to  the  Victoria  Theatre 
for  two  nights,  commencing  January  7. 

The  music  of  the  play  is  dainty  and  de- 
lightful, with  the  charm  of  delicacy  and  plenty 
of  swing  and  go.  It  has  fun  and  melody  in 
equal  proportions  and  twenty  won'derful  songs 
carry  out  the  story.  The  j^reat  '^vaItz  song 
"Come  to  the  Ball,"  which  is  beiiV  whistled 
and  hummed  over  two  continents,  is  eminent- 
ly characteristic  of  the  lyrics  and  bids  fair 
to  rival  an)'  of  the  popular  waltzes  of  the  past 
decade. 

The  company  is  headed  by  N'ictor  Morley 
in  the  stellar  part  and  Natalie  Alt  in  the  title 
role.  There  is  a  delightful  chorus  of  fifty 
beautiful  young  girls,  all  of  them  specially 
trained  for  this  production,  aaA  with  voices 
that  match  their  physical  attractions  in  per- 
fection and  quality,  ^he  stage  ^ettings  are 
gorgeous  and  the  electricztl  piraphernalia 
complete.  The  costurpcs  are  in  tijc  very  tip 
of  the  style,  especially  those  exhib\ted  in  the 
second  act,  which  depicts  a  fasliionalple  dress- 
making salon  in  Paris,  ^t  is  as  good\as  a  trip 
abroad  for  the  advance(|  ideas  it  gives  of  cur- 
rent and  coming  styles  in  feminine  apparel. 

The  story  of  the  pli>-  concerns \a  Q\iaker 
girl  who  is  cast  off  by  iier  own  peSole  and 
goes  to  Paris  to  see  the  world.  In  that  gay 
centre  she  lea»n.s  many  of  thie  worlds  arts 
and  finds  them  much  to  her  liking.  Sl^  falls 
in  love  with  a  young  Americjin  called  'fony 
Chute,  who  teaches  her  to  dartce  and  vwlio  is 
an  adept  at  singing  songs  and  making  love. 
They  have  a  dvlightful  romance  which  ends 
properly  after  Prudence  havhob-nobbe<t  M)9th 
a  prince  and  with  a  ministeJ  of  state  at  a  g^ 


one  of  the  most  attractive  offerings  announced 
for  this  city.  It  will  be  seen  at  tiie  Victoria 
Theatre  on  January  13. 

"Naughty  Marietta"  ran  for  six  months  at 
the  New  York  Thcati-;,  New  York  City,  and 
more  than  a  thousand  performances  have 
been  given  elsewhere.  It  is  the  comic  opera 
ordered  by  Mr.  Hammerstein  when  he  re- 
linquished control  of  the  grand  opera  field  in 
America  and  several  artists  and  many  cnor- 
isters  formerly  in  his  grand  opera  forces  are 
now  enrolled  with  it.  It  was  the  intention 
to  make  it  the  foremost  singing  organization 
in  comic  opera,  and  if  the  opinions  of  '  the 
press  are  a  criterion,  "Naughty  Marietta"  has 
filled  all  evpectations.  Miss  W'ebber  has  been 
singled  out  for  remarkable  comment."*  and  is 
hailed  as  a  marvelous  artiste  and  a  splendid 
singer.   •  •  ^ 

"Naughty  Marietta"  is  the  title  bestowed 
on  a  little  French  countess  who  runs  away 
from  her  convent  to  America.  This  was  in 
1780.  Arriving  in  New  Orleans  she  meets  a 
confirmed  woman  hater,  with  whom  she  falls 
in  love.  To  win  him,  this  mischievoiJLiiiiss 
goes  through  a  series  of  situations  sticTi  as 
abounded  in  that  land  of  romance  and  adven- 
ture at  that  time.  Disguised  as  a  boy,  then 
a  street  singer  and  occasionally  as  her  own 
sweet  self,  she  captures  the  stern  soldier  whom 
she  loves,  showing  at  the  same  time  a  win- 
somepess  and  personality  both  unique  and 
captivating.

THE  DAILY  COLONIST.  VICTORIA.  VANCOUVER  ISLAND,  B.  C,  SUNDAY.  DECEMBER  29,  iQig 


h 


m  OLD  YEAR  AND  THE  NEW 

Jeanst  not  rob  my  mcniory  of  its  years, 
•>i«i6u  canst  i»at  hide  the  vision  of  fair  scenes, 
Thou  canst  not  hush  remembered  melodies, 
O  Bygone  Days,  O  Time ! 

We  shall  soon  be  looking  backwards  on 
the  Old  Year,  and  looking  forward  to  the 
New  Year. 

There  is  a  solemn  pause  in  our  lives  whilst 
we  are  waiting  for  a  new  future  to  be  born 
into   our   lives. 

The  past  is  passed,  the  future  is  unknown. 

What  is  the  spirit  in  which  we  shall  be 
looking  backwards,  whal  is  the  spirit  in  which 
we  shall  look  forward? 

At  this  time  of  the  year  wc  are  all  needing 
mental  perspective,  and  we  can  take  an  art- 
ist's rule,  as  an   instance. 

WJien  people  begin  by  a  too  detailed  and 
too  accurate  drawing  of  some  thing,  the  re- 
sult is  wrong  perspective. 

For  if  we  gaze  too  long  and  too  intently 
upon  any  one  object,  it  will  grow  out  of  all 
proportion  to  the  rest. 


f 


1%: 


We  are  seeing  it  too  clearly,  there  is  not 
enough  distance,  or   mist,  between  it  and   us. 

So  at  this  time  of  year,  wc  must  try  to 
blur  our  mental  vision,  "cligner  les  yeux 
de  Tame,"  and  get  a  more  proportioned  idea 
of  things  by  making  them  recerlc  from  the 
)o-insistent'  foreground ;  for  without  distance 
there  is  no  perspective. 

In  fact,  we  must  strive  to  see  things,  as 
ve  irhall  one  day  see  them,  when  they  have 
become  part  of  the  distant  past,  and  when  our 
vTsion  shall  have  become  strengthened  and 
enlarged  and  when  everything  that  now  s?ems 
like  an  obstacle  will  have  been  removed  from 
o'.ir  distant  view. 

One  very  curious  feature  about  our  men- 
•1  perspective  is  the  way  in  which  objects 
'•   -    alter    or    change    their,  very    color,    shape 

•  -d    character — when    looked    at    from    a    dis- 
i-.nre. 

For    instance:    perhaps    a    year    ago    there 

■  -^^    .1    failure — a    trouble — a  disapoointmenl, 
'•■^-h  at   the  time  seemed  of  vast  importance 

■  •    ns   .■^ind    very   hard   to   bear.     Today    it    no 
'    :i--or   frightens  us. 

^Ve  see  it  in  perspective.  We  have  grown 
-'Im,  and  our  view  of  life  is  calmer,  too,   for 

•  0   are   looking   at   it   from   the   distance,   and 
■  -i  ran  see  that  that  trouble,  or  failure,  was  a 

-  ■jrr'::cnrv  part  of  our  life's  picture, 
j  On   New  Year's  Day  we  are  standing  at  a 
-i«.J-r(inrr  of  the  wavs.  where  we  have  two  im- 

•  nnnt    viewpoints.     They   are    the   Past   and 
;  I'^p    Present.  i 

I        ft  is  then  we  have  need  of  our  i/cntal  per- 
'■■i-Ttivp! 

T  suppose  that  most  of  us  are  looking  back 
■   tlic  pictures  that  the  hand  of  the  great  art- 
^  Time  has   painted  upon  the  canvas  of  our 
\-es. 
We  are  looking  backwards  with  what  Mrs. 
T'rowning  called  our  "back-looking  memory." 
~  d    we    are    like    the    artist    who    steps    back 
im   his  easel   in   order  that  he   mav  see  the 
ilts  of  perspective  and   color  in  his  picture 
pre  clearly.  _  • 

I  Maybe  some  of  the  colors  are  tOjO  garish. 
io  crude,  others  mav  have  been  too  grev  and 
iuombre,   too   depressing — pictures   that   should 
fhave  been  turned  with  their  faces  to  the  wall ! 
Perhaps  there  ire  some  pictures  that  must 
je  painted  out  of  the  canvas  altogether!    The 
|)ld  Year's  pictures  have  each  had  their  dawn,' 
i  their   sunrise   and   sunset   scenes,    and    many 
/  grey  and  rainy  days. 

But  each  has  had  its  own  solemnity,  its 
own   beauty,  its  own  mission. 

It  is  also  helbful  to  remember  that  all  the 
scenes  in  our  life's  pictures  come  before  us 
one  at  a  time. 

The  dawn  comes  before  the  sunrise,  and 
sunset  many  hours  after  sunrise.  The  grey 
days  follow  the  sunny  days,  the  sunny  days 
the  grey,  and  so  each  scene  is  a  continuance,  a 
sequel  of  the  one  that  has  gone  before  and 
neither  can  be  foregone. 

Perhaps  some  of  the  clouds  have  been 
taused  by  discontent,  and  by  wishing  our  lots 
had  been  cast  in  a  different  sphere. 

And  yet  we  are  each  where  our  work  lies; 
we  may  be  quite  sure  of  that.  The  words  are 
so  true: 

And  I  must  seek  through  months  of  toil 

And  years  of  cultivation, 
Upon  my  proper  patch  of  soil ! 

Wc  are  all  resporiSlWe  for  our  own  patch 
of  soil,  why  not  make  a  garden  out  of  it? 

As  wc  enter  the  New  Year  let  us  go  into 
our  heart's  inner  picture  gallery  and  look 
quietly  at  last  year's  pictures.  We  shall  un- 
derstand them  better  than  we  have  ever  done 

before.  .  '    .      , 

Some  will  remind  us  of  our  past  nfiistakes, 
and  some  of  our  successes,  Aod  they  ^11  give 
if  us  cou*«ge  to  remeroher  how  often  we  had 


longed

^ ■ -••-■.-•'M»i»»;"is&,  A 


grounds  of  romance,  there  is  a  growing  ten- 
dency to  mock  at  the  sanctity  of  the  marriage 
vow,  and  flippant  young  persons,  with  a  whole 
wilderness  of  inexperience  behind  them,  write 
glibly  of  the  pitfalls  that  await  the  young 
wife,'  warn  her  of  the  disillusion  that  .is  to 
come,  in  short,  try  to  rob  marriage  of  all  its 
glamor. 

They  appear  to  look  upon  a  husband  as 
a  very 'selfish  and  exacting  individual,  whose 
chief 'occupation  and  recreation  seems  to  be 
that  of  lying  to  his  wife,  and  though  with  de- 
lightful inconsequence  the  sage  of  old  de- 
clared that  "all  men  are  liars,"  the  process 
must  surely  be  too  fatiguing  in  the  stress  of 
modern  life  to  become  a  habit,  SO  that  we  may 
hope  tliat  crysTaTTiic  truth  sometimes  escapes. 
•  Speaking' seriously,  however,  it  seems  to 
me  a  pity,  a  very  great  pity,  that  so  much  ar- 
rant nonsense  is  talked  about  marriage  and  its 
attendant  woes. 

All  this  cheap  clap-trap  written  about  lone- 
Iv,  disappointed  wives,  "feet  of  clay,"  the  self- 
ishness of  mere  man,  with  a  hundred  more 
hyperbolical   expressions,   is  t<5  be  deprecated. 

We  live  in  an  age  of  hurry  and  stress,  and 
often,  through  carelessness,  we  are  in  danger 
of  losing  some  of  the  most  precious  things  in 

life. 

But  do  let  us  keep  a  few  of  our  beliefs  and 

ideals. 

Du  not  let  us  be  cheated  into  thinking  that 
marriage  changes  the  perfect  lover  into  the 
wedded  despot,  or  that  by  putting  on  a  wed- 
ding ring  the  woman  changes  into  an  unpaid 
servant,  or  still   worse,   a   fettered   slave. 

There  are,  and  alas,  one  fears  there  always 
will  be,  but  too  many  unhappy  marriages. 
Marriages  that  have  been. foolishly  rushed  into, 
marriages  where  there  are  faults  on  both  sides. 
But  that  this  is  invariably  the  case!  Those 
who  know  the  joys  of  true  comradeship  can 
afford  to  laugh  at  such  shallow  folly,  but  those 
who  believe"  that  the  measure  of  a  nation's 
prosperity  is  determined  by  its  ideal  of  love, 
feel  that' as  constant  drippings  wear  away  a 
stone,  so  all  the  inconsequent  babblings  about 
the  chains  of  matrimony  will,  undoubtedly,  in 
time,  affect  the  aims  and  ideals  of  our  young 
people,  and  that  home  life  must  in  consequence 
stiffer,  since  home  is  the  pivot  of  love. 

There  is  no  doubf  about  it  that  many  a  wo- 
uian  is  love-blind  when  she  marries,  and  .there 
arc  many  who  argue  that  the  romance  of 
things  should  be  stripped  away,  and  the  real- 
ities shown  bare. 

Possibly  in  some  cases  there  might  be  hap- 
pier unions,  but  I  ain  rather  doidjtful  about  it. 
By  all  means  let  us  keep  romance  as  long 
as  we  can  and  as  close  as  we  can. 

It  is  not  mere  ephemeral  sentiment;  it  may 
become  a  part  of  our  very  souls,  and  there  is 
nothing  more  beautiful  in  the  world  than  the 
romance  of  married  life. 

Matrimonial  chains?  RubbLsh !  Rather 
the  handclasp  of  true  comradeship. 

A  handclasp  may  become  a  grip  that  fet- 
ters if  thoug'hts  go  straying,  but  often  it  is  a  ^ 
womans'  fault  if  she  loses  her  faith,  when  the 
perfect   union,   of   which   she    dreamed,   fades 
away  into  the  land  of  impossible  things. 

I  know  this  sounds  oddly  harsh,  and  I  do 
not,  by  any  means,  in  most  of  the  practical 
cases  which  have  ever  come  to  my  notice,  take 
the  man's  part  against  that  of  the  woman. 
But  love  is  the  most  spiritual  thing  in  the 
world,  besides  its  most  potent  force,  and  as 
soon  as  a  woman  sets  herself  to  dwell  on  all 
the  little  niggling  disappointments  that  be- 
strew every  path,  so  soon  as  she  lets  the  hal- 
cyon days  of  betrothal  be  regarded  as  days  of 
promise  never  to  be  fulfilled,  so  surely  will  the 
spiritual  side  of  love  become  warped,  and  its 
potency  weaken. 

We  have  become  accustomed  to  think  of 
man  as  the  selfish  being,  and  we  forget  our 
own   failings. 

Let  every  woman  probe  her  own  heart,  and 
mayhap  she  will  find  herself  every  whit  as 
selfish,  far  more  exacting,  and  quite  possibly 
as  sordid  in  her  aims  and  desires. 

If  men  and  women  were  more  honest  with- 
themselves  and  with  each  other,  there  would 
be  less  rivalry,  less  jealousy,  less  lack  of  gen- 
erosity towards  one  another's  failings,  and  cer- 
tainly more  of  that  perfect  comradeship  that 
marriage  was  certainly  intended  to  be. 

Men  and  women  are  not  demigods  or  an- 
gels, but  every,  sordid  frailty  of  humanity  is 
ethercalized  by  the  love  poem  which  may  be 
made  pf  every  married  life  wh^n  true  com- 
radeship knits  the  two  together. 

The  very  essence  of  perfect  union  is  pro-

That  stutnble  on  in  search  of  it. 

Sing  notes  of  love,  that  some  who  hear 
Far  off,  inert,  may  lend  an  ear.

GOWNS    AND    GOSSIP 

My  Best  Friend — 

Without  a  moment's  delay  I  must  protest, 
dear  lady,  against  your  condemnation  of  the 
modes  tailleurs  of  this  present  season.  There 
is  no  doubt  you  have  been  much  misled  Upon 
this  point  by  sonic  false  prophet  or  another, 
who  only,  pretendeth  to  knowledge.  On  the 
contrary^  the  tailor-made  gown  of  prevailing 
fashion,  is  all  tjitt  tin  be  desired,  an4  quite

well  received.  At  tlic  back  was  a  shaped  and 
embroidered  moire  belt,  bearing  the  distinctly 
downward  slope  that  up  to  the  present  Jias 
been  far  distance  from 'our  waistline.  Tliis 
change,  or  attempted  change,  in  silhouette  does 
not  greatly  appeal  to  the  majority  of  people. 
We  shall  see,  however,  whether  it  will  gain 
ground  as  the  months  slip  away. 

Coats  are  much  longer,  and  are  very  often 
more  so  at  -the  back  than   in  front,  the   sides 
being  generally  rounded  so  as  to  bring  back 
and  front  into  harmony.     Incited  coats  are  a 
very  definite  feature,  their  fronts  being  either 
cut  away^-rounded,  or  sharply  slanted.    Many 
of  tlje^igger  houses  are  prepared  to  stand  by 
the  coat  that  is  single-breasted  and  fastens  up 
to  the  base  of  the  throat.     It  is  then  finished 
by  a   small   roll  collar   of  velvet,   fur,   panne, 
or  plush,  this  either  standing  up  well  to  the 
back  of  the  neck  or  lying  down  flatly  on  the 
coat  itself.     Buttons  and  their  accompanying 
button  holes  or  loops  make  great  play  on  both 
coat  and  skirt,  and  when  of  colored  or  untinted 
glass  can  be  introduced  with  admirable  effect. 
The  other  day    I    was    shown    a    coat  and 
skirt    of    the    darkest    blue-black    ratine    that 
took  my  fancy  immensely.     The  coat  fastened 
up  to  the  neck  in  the  fashion  just  described, 
being    fastened    with    large    round    glass    but- 
tons?' of  royal   purple   passed   through   button- 
holes  piped   with   satin   in    the   same   imperial 
shade.     The  only  other   embellishments   were 
large   highwayman   pockets   upon    either   side, 
.pjaced  boldly  at  an  upward  angle,  each   flap 
being  held   in   position  by   a  trio  of  buttons. 
The  wrap-over  skirt  was  slightly  draped  upon 
the  left-hand  side  of  the  front,  and  completed 
a  most  seasonable  suit,  from  which  its  owner 
might  reasonably  expect  many  days  of  wear. 
Velvets  are  not  so  inevitable  as  they  were 
last  season,  though  they  have  by  no  means  en- 
tirely departed    from   our   midst.     The   velvet 
coat'  and  cloth   skirt  harmonizing  in   shade  is 
being   exploited    by    a    few    couturiers, -but    is 
not  up  till  now,  meeting  with  much  enthusiasm. 
I  must  confess,  though,  to  a  strong  regard  for 
the  long  wrap  coat  of  velvet. 

Sealskin,  as  all  the  world  knows,  is  almost 
prohibitive  in  price,  seal  musquash,  its  de- 
lightful prototype,  necessitates  a  certain  ex- 
penditure, comparatively  cheap  though  it  be, 
but  a  fascinating  coat  of  velvet  can  be  secured 
well  under  seventy-five  dollars.  A  velvet  coat, 
shaped  smartly  to  the  figure,  lined  with  some 
pretty  brocade,  and  fastening  with  handsome 
braided  Brandenburghs,  will  do  duty  for  both 
day  and  evening  wear,  and  if  its  wearer  has  a 
stole  of  black  fox  or  wolf  and  dons  this  at  the 
sanie  time,  it  will  appear  as  if  the  coat  has  a 
handsome  fur  collar,  and  it  will  vastly  gain  m 
appearance. 

"  We  can  trace  a  distinct  tendency  towards 
Modes  Louis  Seize  with  some  of  the  tailored 
fashions,  notably  in  the  embroidered  waist- 
coats introduced  with  a  few  new  models. 
Directoire  coats  made  with  a  very  masculine 
waistcoat  of  white  suede  cloth  look  well,  but 
the  small  woman  must  beware  before  adopting 
this  style,  since  as  a  rule  it  is  only  the  tall 
lady  who  can  carry  it  with  advantage,, 

It  would  be  amusing,  were  it  not  sad,  to 
see  the  complete  ignorance  displayed  by  many 
people  in  the  choice  of  their  garments.  The 
woman  who  is  literally  as  broad  as  she  is  long 
must  tread  very  ^warily,  since  in  many  Ways 
destruction  lies.  She  must  eschew  all  "cut- 
ting" lines,  against  any  suggestion  of  a  pan- 
nier drapery  she  must  set  her  face  as  the 
Sphinx,  and  never  relax  it,  while  striped  ma- 
terials, and  those  with  large  or  heavy  pat- 
terns, spell  her  undoing. 

What  becomes  one  pretty  woman  will 
make  another  look  plain,  so  subtle  is  the  in- 
fluence of  color  and  line.  Y(^t,  after  all,  it  is, 
or  ought  to  be,  a  more  simple  matter  than  it

The  French  kitchen  knows  two  distinct 
kinds  of  Macedoines  of  irui|. .  The  one  is 
made  at  {he  end  cf  the  summ*l4^and  the  other 
one  later  on  in  the  yciir.  The  fi'rst  one  con- 
sists- enti'rQly  of  small  red  fruit,- such  as  straw- 
berries, cherries,  i.tspljcrries,  whilst  the  Mace- 
doines of  the  after  Season — the  bett^  of  the 
two — consist  Of  pears,  peaches,  all  kinds  of 
plitms,  and  so  forth. 

The  first  thing  to  do  is  to  prepare  the  vsyr- 
up,  and  then,  while  the  syrup  is  boiling,  the 
fruit  must  be  prepa'red.  The  pears  are  [)eele(l  . 
and  cut  in  four,  and  each  piece  is  dipped  int  < 
'syruj.).  The  peaches  are  carefully  stoned,  •-  ■ 
that  no  harm  is  done  to  the  flesh  oi  the  frui-. 
If  there  are  any  difficulties,  the  peaches  shouM 
be  laid  for  abotit  two  minutes  in  very  hoi 
water  and  then  dried  and  cut  in  two.  Thc!! 
dip  the  pi.'ces  into  the  syrup.  The  greengage^ 
are  cleaned  and  the  top  and  bottom  ends  are 
just  cut  off  and  the  fruit  is  stoned.  \Vhen 
all  the  fruit  has  been  prepa-red  in  equal  part--^, 
and  in  different  receptacles,  all  we  have  to  do 
iii  tu.optui  tiie  bottles  containin^^-  the  ;jres£i'jyiXii 
apricots  and  cherries,  and  to  till  the  bottles 
with  the  different  layers  of  fruit.  ■  ThcsSe  lay- 
ers should  vary  as  much  as  possible.  The 
syrup  is  then  poured  between  the  layers  and 
the  bottles  are  allowed  to  stand  for  sonic  time 
in  boiling  'water. 

This  way  of  paking  Macedoines  of  fruis^s 
is  the  simplest,  I'ccause  the  frii  :  •  ready  t^» 
be  served.  It  has,  however  the  drawback,  that 
each  fruit  loses  ..something^  pi  its  'listinctive 
flavor  by  being  nnxed.  . 

If  one  wishes  to  preserve'^. rach  individual 
flavor,  the  Macedoine  must  be  piadeTr.  anc-h*.»r 
way.  Each  kind  ■■{  fruit  is  prepared  by  itscli 
and  kept  in  sepali^atc  bottles.  .And  the  Mace- 
doine must  be  mixed  eacl^  time  you  wish  t(o 
serve  it.  The  iniportai^5)oiat  in  either  case 
is  to  use  nothing  !)ui:  sqtuiM  ,fruit-  One  single 
fruit,  not  fresh,  not  ripe,|n^jr  quite  sound,  is 
likely  to- spoil  the  whole  #Iacedoincs.

The  World,  dtf  New  V^k,  has  an  amusing 
account  of  the  experiencci^it  Evian-les-Bain» 
of  Mrs.  F.  W.  Vandcrbilt  ^nd  the  Duchess  of 
Manchester.  The  Duchess,  it  will  be  remem- 
bered, was  a  Miss  Zimmerman,  of  Cincinnati, 
It  seems  that  after  cruishig  about  in  the  Med- 
iterranean on  the  Va^nderbilt  yacht,  the  War- 
rior, the  Duke  and  Duchess  and  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Vanderbilt  disembarked  at  Venice  and  started 
westwards  in  motor  cars.  When  they  reached 
Evian  they  put  up  at  the  Hotel  Royal,  and 
the  Duchess  and  Mrs.  ,  Vanderbilt,  by  con- 
sent, ordered  for  the  whole  party.  <'We  will 
take  the  ordinary  table-d'hote  meals,"  they 
said,  "but  our  dogs  must  be  served  a  la  carte. 
The  dogs  in  question  were  T.ipanesc  spaniels 
from  the  late  Mikado's  kennels,  and  at  Evian 
their  fare  came  to  about  £i  i8s.  per  day  per 
dog.  From  Ev'  m  'che  party  moL'-'rcd  to  Os-

and  went  on  a  trip  to  N'orwiay  for  the  salmon

A  ride  in  a  motor  car  from  Dawson  to  Whitehorse 
.nnd  back  would  not  have  been  thoug'lit  possible  In  the

expected  to  make  the  Journey  In  a  week  when  he  left 
homo  on  the  morning  of  December  IS.  If,  Instead  of 
tlie  do;rslod,  a  motor 'car  can  he  used  on  the  frozen

for  the  hospital  last  week.  Every  little  helps,  and  we 
want   our   hospital    to   be    the  best  In  British  Columbia.

should  be  used  sparingly,  but  doctors  n^w  tell  us  if  Is

A«  they  were  entering  Delhi,  which,  as  you  will 
remember,  was  made  the  capital  of  India  Instead  of 
Calcutta  when  King  George  was  in  that  part  of  tho 
Empire  about  a  year  ago,  the  Governor-General,  Lord 
Hardlnge  and  Lady  Hardlnge  narrowly  escaped  being 
killed.  They  were  riding,  as  .  la  the  custom.  In  a 
palanquin  on  the  back  of  an  elephant  when  a  man 
from  the  roof  of  a  low  building  threw  a  bomb  at 
them.  The  shell  exploded,  killing  the  driver  and 
wounding  Lord  Hardlrfge,  but.  It  is  hoped,  not  danjer- 
oualy.  It  in  said  that  the  Oovernor-Oeneral  is  gen-

There  are  rumors  of  more  fighting  in  Mexico.  The 
troubles  which  began  nearly  two  years  ago  are  not 
over  yet.  Those  who  know  most  about  that  country 
say  that  the  rebels  are  now  little  more  than  bands  of

Krancesco*  Madero,  the  President,  who  has  taken  the 
place  of  Porftrlo  Diaz,  who  ruled  the  country  for 
ihirty-flvc  years,  promised  that  pEonago.  a  sort  of 
slavery,  should  be  done  away  with,  and  that  the  Gov- 
ernment would  make  it  possible  for  the  tillers  of  the

change  would  be  made  at  once.  The  owners  of  great 
estates  see  that  they  are  being  so  heavily  taxed  that 
th«y  will  be  obliged  to  sell  their  vast  holdings,

these  discontended  people.  Their  bands  have  swept 
over  the  country  robbing,  murdering,  and  sometimes

love  peace  and  freedom.  These  hope  that  he  will  bo 
strong  enough  to  s\ibduc  the  rebels  and  free  the  land

Both  the  British  and  Canadian  Legislators  have

the  Welsh  Church  Is  yet  further  behind.  Mr.  Borden's

•During  the  year  1912  Victoria  has  grown  very  fast. 
Boys  and  girls  have  come  With  their  fathers  and 
mothers  from  almost  every  part  of  the  world.  Thoy 
are  happy  In  their  new  homes  and  will  soon  be  as 
proud  of  Victoria  as  those  who  have  lived  In  the  city 
all  their  lives.  Fine  buildings  have  gorio  up  In  the 
city,  streets  have  been  paved  and  widened  and  many 
new  ones  have  been  made.  Oak  Bay  has  Improved 
quite  as  much  as  the  city  proper,  and  now  at  the 
close  of  the  year  Saanlch  and  Kaqulmalt  are  preparing 
to  rival  Oak  Bay.  The  British  Columbia  Electric  Com- 
pany haa  finished  its  road  to  Deep  Bay  and  will  soon 
have  cars  enough  to  give  a  good  service.  The  Cana- 
dian Northern  la  also  ready  to  build  across  tho 
Saanlch  .Penlnaula  and  put  up  stations  on  the  Indian 
Reserve.  There  is  a  plan  on  foot  to  make  a  motor 
road  around  the  Saanlch  Penlsula.  The  breakwater 
contract  has  been  let  and  will  soon  be  commenced. 
The  Sooke  waterworks  have  been  begun  and  tho  work 
will  be  gone  on  with  as  fast  aa  possible..  In  what- 
ever direction  we  look  there  Is  work  to  bo  done.  This 
year  has  been  very  prosperous  and  unless  all  signs 
fall,  there  will  be  plenty  Of  work  next  year  for  all 
who  are  able  and  willing  to  do  It.  The  man  who  Is 
skilful  and  knows  how  to  direct  others  nee*^  not  be 
Idle.  There  is  many  a  whlte-halrcd  man  who  wishes 
that  he  had  the  youth  and  health  and  strength  to  begin 
life  over  again  In   this  rich  new   province. 

This  will  be  the  last  Sunday  number  of  The  Colonist 
for  the  year' 1912.  When  history  comes  to  be  written

inimns  have  been  .1  ili'  10  di'ivo  tho  Turkish  annlos

in  London.  No  one.  except  the  peace  delegates  them- 
selves, knows  what  was  decided  upon  before  the  con- 
ference adjourned  for  Christmas.  There  are  many 
guesses,  but  perhaps  we  had  better  wait  till  the  truth 
is  published.  That  Turkey  may  decide  to  go  on 
(ighiing  if  she  Is  not  allowed  to  keep  Adrianople  and 
t  1  remain  overlord  of  Albania,  and  that  the  Bulgarians

OUR  VICTORIA  SCOUTS 


badges,    and    of    course    a    scoutmaster    would    have    to 
bo  In  charge  of  them 

A  final  word  to  the  scouts  thf.-in.-iflvus.  You  must 
not  expect  all  those  boons  to'  fall  into  your  mouihs 
without  asalatanee.  You  must  gel  to  work  ami  ftrid 
out  who  Is  able  to  help  us  In  these  matters,  and  then 
see  If  they  are  willing,  or  can  be  persuaded  to  help. 
Out  out  this  column  and  send  It,  or,  better  still,  take  It 
yourself  to  somo  friend  who  you  think  has  "the  goods." 
and    HO   do   a   good    turn    to   all    the    Victoria   Buy    .Si'outs. 

n.   V.    HAUVKY. 


Scouts  are  not  supposc-d  to  beg,  either  for  them- 
Belves  or  for  tlu-Ir  trcwjp.  They  are  supposed.  If  tliey 
need  anything,  either  to  make  It  themselves,  or  to 
earn   enough    money    to    buy    it. 

Kilt  Ihi-re  ar>'  two  or  three  hundred  scouts  In  Vic- 
toria who  iicod,  rather  badly,  several  things  which 
thoy  can  neither  mak-e  nor  buy.  They,  thejrt'fope,  make 
this  appeal  for  asslataneo,  in  the  name  of  this  move- 
ment which  is  doing  so  m-uch  for  the  youth  of  tho 
lumplro,  to  those  people  of  Vl<-torla  who  have  or  can 
help  to  supply  what  the  srouts  really  need  In  onler 
to  do  the  best  work  in  the  be.st  way.  Th>se  are  three 
In   numlK;r. 

First — -A    piece    of   land.  "^ 

No!  the  scouts  are  not  going  In  for  real  estate. 
They  don't  want  a  gift,  but  a  loan,  "they  really  do 
need  a  piece  of  unclearefl  hush-land,  not  too  far  from 
town,  as  a  regular  place  for  camps,  hut-building, 
cooking  tests  and  so  forth.  There  must  be  many  suit- 
able patches  around  South  .Sa.-3,nicli  and  Strawbcrrv 
Vale,  tlie  owners  of  wliich  might  be  Induced  to  allow 
scouts  t-o  use  them  for  a  certain  period,  or  until  further 
notice,  where  the  boys  could  cut  down  trees,  liuild 
(ires,  make  bridges  and  huts,  and  learn  all  those  useful 
outdoor  "stunts"  that  form  such  an  Important  feature 
of  scout  training.  The  exact  acreage  is  unimportant: 
anything  from  two  acres  to  twenty  would  lye  grate- 
fully received.  Water  Is '  naturally  a  consideration, 
whether  from  a  stream,  a  lake,  or  a  farm  house.  Over 
in  Vancouver  a  certain  great  corporation  gave  the 
Boy  Scouts  the  us«  of  a  fine  tract  of  this  kind.  I  was 
there  about  Kaster,  1911,  and  found  the  place  swarm- 
ing with  scouts  on  a  .Saturflay  afternoon.  Most  of 
them  were  building  huts,,  and  had  their  blankets 'and 
grub  with  them.  They  would  spend  the  night,  some- 
times two  nights  In  the  open,  and  go  back  to  school 
on  Monday  all  the  better  for  their  outing.  At  the 
same  time  they  were  within  flft-een  minutes  of  a  car 
line,  and  could  attonil  church,  or  fetch  a  doctor  In 
case    of    need. 

Gantleraen  oj  tho  Real  Ksi'ac*:  lOxchange  and  land- 
owners genorafly,  we  put  it  up  to  you.  Your  land  will 
bo  none  the  worse  for  tho  scouts'  camps,  and  you  will 
be  conferring  a  real  benefit  on  the  boys  of  Victoria. 

Second — We   need    a    house. 

^ot  a  loan,  nor  a  gift  either  this  time,  <y>\\t  a  house 
to  rent  at  a  low  figure.  The  association  has  up  to 
now  held  Its  meetings  in  the  Christ  Church  school- 
room, hy  the  kind  permission  nf  tho  Cathedral  authori- 
ties, to  whom  they  are  exceedingly  grateful.  But  they 
fe-el  that  they  would  like  a  room  of  their  own,  where 
they  could  meet  at  any  time  without  inconveniencing 
anyone.  They  cannot  afford  to  pay  a  high  rent,  but 
they  badly  need  a  plac^  for  the  scouts'  headquarters. 
At  the  same  tlm'o.  a.'t  they  would  not  want  to  live  In 
the  house,  but  only  lo  moot  there  occasionally,  mostly 
In  the  -evenings,  they  do  not  look  for  ail  the  modern 
conveniences,   except   water  arid   electric  light 

Surely  someone  has  on  his  or  her  hands  an  unlet- 
tablo  house,  delapldated  or  old-fashioned,  which  they 
would  bo  willln.ar  to  rent  at  a  figure  within  the  means 
of  the  scouts,  Thro«  rooms  would  be  enough,  one  for 
<-ouncll  meetings,  one  or  more  for  troop  meetings,  and 
a  kitchen  would  be  handy  for  demonstratlo>i5  and  t-ests 
in  cooking.  I  am  sure  the  scout  masters  would  gladly 
meet    any    reasonable    proposition. 

Thirdly — We  need  a  "boat,  or  the  i-je  of  one. 

By  this  I  mean  a  sea-worthy  sailing  boat,  such  as 
the  old  sealing  schooners  wiilch  lie  in  the  Upper  Har- 
bor. If  Canada  is  over  to  have  a  navy,,  we  <5n  the' 
Pacific  Coast  must  begin  to  accustom  our  boys  to  the 
sea,  and  train  them  so  that  if  tlvey  have  a  leaning 
towards  a  life  on  the  ocean  wave,  it  can  -be  brovgh't 
out  atid  guided  in  tim«.  Our  boys  are  too  much  inclined 
to  be  "laipd-luMiera."  If  the  scouUi  had  a  boat  which 
could  be  fitted  up  to  iako  in  one  patrol  at  a  time,  they 
could  sleep  there  for  a  fow  days,  and  spend  their 
time,  flrst  in  learning  Cb*  natnes  of  the  parts  of  the 
boat  and  rigging,  etc.;  then  in  band11n#  ropes,  paintliif 
and  keeping  the  boat  neat  and  clean,  and  lastly  la 
takfnc  tbe  actual  tttf.  With  one  or  two  experieilead  men 
In  charge.  "

NANCY'S  SOUTHERN  CHRISTMAS 

They  liad  always  kept  Christmas  at  home,  even  if 
in  no  expensive  way.  On  tho  very  last  one,  Johim.v 
liad  had  his  skates,  tied  to  his  slocking,  and.  inside 
it.  an  orange  and  nuts  and  raisins,  and  some  llttl  ■ 
trick-Joke,  and  a  stick  of  candy;  and  Robby  had  had 
his  sled,  and  Mamie  her  book,  and  Ri'ssle  her  tea  sot; 
and  Mr.  Murtrle,  the  father  liad  .-i  pair  of  wristcrs 
that  Nancy  had  crocheted,  and  a  muffler  that  his  wlfo 
had  knit;  and  the  mother  had  a  noodle  book  that  Mai- 
nio  had  made,  and  a  bread  plate  that  Johnny  had  wl.li- 
tled  out,  and  a  piece  of  Jig-saw  work  from  Robby,  and 
a  muff  from  the  father.  Ajid  Mamie  had  written  a 
l>o(-m  to  father  and  mother,  which  all  the  others 
.  ritii'lzi-d  vlolenlly  and  ruthlessly,  but-whioli  was  pri- 
vately regarded  as  a  great  achievement  by  every  one 
of  them. 

But    what   was    there    to   do  hero     with     sleds    and, 
skates!     Great  use  for  a.  muff  out  in  the  middle  of  the 
TexMH  jirairle,  to  which  they  had  come  from  the  North. 
Why,  yesterday '  tho  'thermometHrwttB"  Just  at  summer 
heat,  and   roses  -were  blossoming! 

At  home  how  gay  It  was  with  every  one  coming 
and  going,  with  purchases  aiuj  parcels  and  merry 
secrets,  with  the  hanging  of  the  green,  with  big  snow- 
drifts, and  coasting  down  Long  Hill  by  8tarllgl\t,  wliii 
going  to  church  In  the  forenoon,  and  coming  home  to 
turkey  and  cranberry  sauce,  and  a  pudding  in  blue 
flames!  Hero  there  was  notliing,  there  was  nobody. 
There  wasn't  a  shop  within  a  hundred  miles,  and  it 
there  were,  there  was  no  money  with  which  to  buy 
anything.  For  Mr.  Murtrle  had  como  to  grief  In  his 
business,  losing,  when  all  <lebts  were  paid,  everything 
but  this  ranch,  to  which  he  had  brought  his  family. 
and  where  it  seemed  like  a  new  world. 

At  first,  It  had  been  so  novel,  no  one  thought  of 
homr-sickness.  Nancy  herself  had  enjoyed  as  much  as 
any  one  tliO  singing  of  the  mocking-birds  at  night,  tho 
flashing  of  the  cardinal's  red  -wings  In  the  radiant 
mornings  and  the  bubbling  of  his  song,  the  fragianio 
of  the  Jasmines,  the  beauty  of  the  innumerable  flow- 
ers, the  charm  of  the  wide  landscape;  the  giant  trees 
draped  In  their  veils  of  gray  moss;  she  had  enjoyed 
hearing  the  boys  tell  about  the  bat  caves,  with  their 
streams  of  unnumbered  wings  going  out  by  dark  and 
coming  In  by  dawn  In  myriads;  she  had  enjoyed  lying 
awake  at  night  to  hoar  the  water  gontly  pouring 
through  the  Irrigation  ditches  from  the  madre  ditcli. 
and    drowning    all    the    land    In    its    fi-rlUlzlng    flood    to 


RKGGIK   STEPHENS 


the  sound  of  slow  music;  she  had  enjoyed  watching  the 
long  flights  of  wild  ducks:  seeing  a  spot  apparently 
covered  with  yellow  flowers  that  suddenly  turned  into 
a  flock  of  birds  that  rose  ahd  flew  away.  She  had 
enjoyed  the  strange  cactus  growths  that  seemed  to  her 
like  things  enchanted  in  their  weird  shapes  by  old 
magicians;  she  had  enjoyed  the  thickets  of  prickly 
pear;  the  green  and  feathery  foliage  of  the  mesquit 
bu.'ihes.  many  of  them  no  higher  than  her  head,  but 
with  mighty  roots  stretching  far  and  wide  underground, 
the  Indians  having  burned  the  tops  in  their  wild  raids, 
year  after  year,  long  ago.  But  now  Nancy  was  longing 
for  the  bare  branches  of  her  old  apple  tree,  weaving 
their  broidery  on  tl-.e  sky,  for  the  young  oak  by  the 
brook  whi-ch  held  Us  brown  leaves  till  Spring,  for  the 
wide  snow  fields,  the  shadows  of  whose  drifts  were 
blue  as  sapphire.  She  was  longing  lo  hear  the  bolls 
ring  out  their  gladness  on  Christmas  eve,  and  Christ- 
mas morning,  for  the  spicy  green  gloom  of  the  church, 
for  all  the  happy  cheer  of  Christmas  as  she  liad  known 
It.  Bells'.'  There  wasn't  a  bell  within  hearing;  there 
wasn't  a  church,  except  the  ruins  of  an  old  Spanish 
mission  three  or  four  mllo.3  distant.  How  could  there 
be  Christmas  green  •where  there  wasn't  a  .npruce  or 
a  fir!  There  was  only  this  long,  dreary  prairie  of  tho 
cattle  range  under  Its  burning  blue  sky.  It,- was  the 
very  kingdom  of  loneliness.  Christmas  without  snow, 
without  an  icicle,  without  whistling  winds — oh.  It 
wasn't   Christmas  at  all! 

And  then  suddenly,  as  the  angry  wonis  resounded 
and  echoed  In  her  mind,  she  asked  herself  what  made 
Christmas  anyway?  Certainly  it  wasn't  the  things 
people  did.  In  some  places  they  kept  II  with  blowing 
of  horns  and  burning  of  flre-i;rackers,  as  they  did 
Fourth  of  July.  Perhaps  In  that  way  they  expressed 
as  others  did  with  the  poalln'g  from  belfries  and  tho 
rolling  of  organ  tones.  For  Christmas  was  a  time  to 
be  glad  that  Christ  came  to  make  all  Christendom 
good,   and    blessed,   and    happy. 

And,  just  as  suddenly,  Nancy  could  not  help  asking 
herself  what  she  was  doing  to  express  gladness  or  to 
make  Christmas  happy.  '  North  Pole  or  South  Pole, 
Christmas  was  Christmas,  and  It  wasn't  all  In  pleas- 
ures or  all  In  gifts;  and  she  got  out  of  bed,  and  knelt 
down  and  said  a  prayer,  and  went  to  sleep  in  a  better 
frame  of  mind. 

But  if  it  wasn't  all  in  -pleasures  or  all  in  gifts, 
there  must  bo  some  gifts;  and  next  day,  Naney  set  her- 
self to  thinking  out  the  problem.  It  was  still  some 
time  before  the  great  holiday,  and  every  hour  must  be 
Improved. 

FVir  the  first  tiding,  she  bctoook  herself  to  one  of 
the  men  about  the  range  who  often  came  about  tho 
buildings;  and 'he  found  for  her  several  huge  horns, 
and,  with  his  help,  and  taking  Johnny  Into  her  confi- 
dence, they  took  grease  and  brick  dust,  and  scraped 
and  polished  these  horns  till  they  shone  almost  like 
silver.  Then  the  three  dug  for  a  big  mesqult  root 
and  secured  one,  at  last,  that  grew  from  a  great  stock; 
and  they  scraped  and  polisheil  that  into  a  very  handf- 
Bome  piece  of  wood;  and,  having  a  little  knack  ot  car- 
pentry, they  fitted  tho  enomnous  horns  into  the  mes- 
quli  root,  and  there  was  a  chair  for  «ny  palace.  It 
was  to  be  their  father's,  and  wait  to  stand  on  the  gal- 
lery, where,  aome  night,  the  night-blooming  cereus 
that  laced  the  whole  front  would  open  Hm  slow,  delici- 
ous flowers,  and  shed  the  balm  of  heaven  about  hitp. 

TlM»y  found  U  a  little  difficult  to  ke«p  this  secret, 
because  tbey  becf»  wotk  upon  it  before  Mr.  Murtrle 
went  off  on  his  b«AMns  trip  with  some  friends;  but. 
after  be  liad  goiWi,  tMng*  were  catlter.  as  the  mother

it  with  a  bit  of  silk  that  had  boon  her  doll's  skirt  In 
hor  day  of  dolls.  The  doll,  that  had  been  religiously 
put  away,  was  taken  from  hor  slumbers  and  fur- 
bished for  Bessie's  Chrlstma.s.  "Why,  really,  it's  go- 
ing  to   be  a   Christmas,   after   all,"   she   said. 

"Only  It's  so  (jiioor  to  have  it  so  warm<"  grumbled 
Johnny.      "Winter    without    Mnowt)allln;.f    isn't    winter!" 

•■(.111.  1  don't  know,"  said  Nancy,  beginning  to  defend 
the   thing  she   had   adopted. 

The  man  who  had  found  the  horns  for  her  found 
also  a  little  baby  fox.  and  that  was  kept  In  great  seclu- 
sion to  become,  on  Christmas  morning,  a  pot  for 
Johnny;  and  Mamie  and  Nancy  had  great  times  to- 
gether feeding  It.  He  had  tho  funniest  little  bark  al- 
ready.    "Oh,  wo  are  coming  along!"  cried  Nancy.

ruins  of  the  old  mission,  she  h.id  observed  a  number  of 
Mexican  "shacks,"  or  huts,  near  by.  She  saw  tho  dinner 
of  one  family,  which  consisted  of  half  a  sweet  potato 
and  a  red  pepper.  But  she  had  also  seen  a  big  cage 
full  of  canaries.  And  so  Nancy  and  Johnny  set  out 
to  walk  over  to  tho  mission,  losing  their  way  .several 
times,  but  finding  il  again  all  at  once.  There  an  In- 
dian woman,  who  was  about  thirty  years  old,  and  look- 
ed a  hundred,  flung  hor  baby,  which  was  the  loveliest 
little  harmony  of  brown  and  rose  you  ever  saw,  Into 
her  husband's  arms,  and,  after  a  great  deal  of  panto- 
mime and  dumb  show,  .-sold,  for  the  price  of  the  last 
piece  of  silver  )n  Nancy's  purse,  a  pair  of  the  canarioa 
in  a  cage  made  of  reeds,  each  one  an  exquisite  pinch 
of  feathers,  a  lot  of  living  gems,  of  all  colors  of  the 
rainbow,  blue  and  yellow,  and  green,  and  purple,  and 
rod,  and  brown — Iridescent  little  things,  with  a  song 
like  the  faintest,  prettiest  echo  of  a  Hartz  canary's 
song.  And  there  was  Marnio's  Christmas  present  set-***^ 
tied. 

But  for  Bobby?  Oh,  there  was  the  horned  toad  she 
had  heard  about.  Robby  liad  seen  one  In  some  show 
or  other  at  home,  and  had  longed  for  It.  Here  it  was 
lo  his  hand — if  she  could  fiiid  it.  And,  wltli  the  help 
nf  the  man  who  had  helped  her  before,  and  who  coul-l 
not  fancy  what  she  wanted  it  for,  find  it  she  did. 
Bobby    would   bo   delighted. 

If  .Vancy  had  been  born  In  the  region,  or  was  livings 
in  any  town  there,  she  ■\vould  have  found  no  difficulty 
In  making  Clirlstmas  presents  like  those  she  liad  hither- 
to given;  but  Ihe^se  .gifts  that  she  found  .possible  were 
unlQue  an<l  unlike  anyllng  she  could  have  obtained  at 
lier  old  home.  "^  ,/ 

And  now  for  sweetmeats.  Well,  they  Jiad  dried 
some  of  tho  luscious  grapes,  and  there  were  the  rais- 
ins in  the  pantry.  Just  oozing  and  cru-sted  with  sugar; 
and  there  was  the  barrel  of  molasses  from  the  sugar 
mill  down  on  tho  Brazos;  no  one  could  make  more 
delicate  candy  than  Nancy  could  and  did;  and  there 
had  been  a  great  iiarvest  of  pecan  nulls;  and  thus,  so 
far  as  the  stockings  were  concerned,  CHrlstmas  Imd  no 
more  to  ask.  ^ 

The  expected  day  was  close  at  hand,  and  Nancy 
pictured  to  herself  how  It  would  all  go  off — how  the 
stockings  would  be  hung  up,  how  Johnny  would  help 
with  the  t^alr,  and  then  be  in  bed  before  his  own  gift 
appeared,  and  how  she  would  lie  up  at  the  peep  of  dawn 
to  go  out  and  bring  in  that  baby  fox — tho  delicate. 
delicious,  dewy  dawn — and  m.ake  his  bed  under  Johnny's 
stocking,  tying  his  leash  to  the  toe,  after  fastening  It 
securely  to  a  hook  in  the  chimney;  and  how  she  would 
untwist  and  unbind  and  unlace  a  great  branch  of  the 
roses  outsldo  that  were  having  a  late  blossoming  on  their 
luxuriant  gAiwth,  and  bring  It  Into  the  window  and 
train  It  all'Suyund  the  room  under  the  cellfng.  It  would 
b(> — well.  asXbeautlful  as  the  Christmas  green;  it 
couldn't   bo  n^re   beautiful,   she  said   In  her   thoughts. 

It   was  at   this   time   that   Mrs.   Murtrle  began  to  be 
a    little   anxious    about    her    husband.      Ho    should   have 
returned   from    his   hunting   trip   some  days   before,  and 
he   was  still  absent,   no  one  could  say   where.     And,  of 
course,    she    was    conjuring    up    all    sorts    ot    frightful 
possibilities  In   the  -way  of  accidents,   and  Mamie  was 
helping     her;     and     .Nancy     herself,     though    ordinarily 
holding  her  father  to  be  Invulnerable,  felt  a  degree  of 
alarm  as  she   thought  what  if  he  had  fallen  Into  sOfne ' 
gulch,  or  lost  his  way,  or  drowned  In  one  of  the  rlTers 
that  rose,  after  a  rain   in   the  hills,  so  swittlr  that,  in 
a    town    below,   a   man   had   been   overtaken  bafore     he' 
could   get  off    the  bridge.     As  for  Johnny,  be   was  for' 
going  out  to  find  his  father,  If  he  only  knew  which  wajf . 
to   go.     As   night  fell,   and    It   was  Christmas   eve,   the 
house    was   full   of  -a  sort   of  electric   tension;    no  otA \ 
said    Just   what   evcRj'   one   was   thinking,   till  suddenly: 
Bessie  broke  out  with  a  great  sob,  and  cried:     "I  'want 
my  paipa!"     Then  everyone  fell   to  comforting  her,  and 
ail  were  furtively  wiping  away  tears,  when  eteps  rang 
on    the   gallery,    the   door   burst  -open,   and   tbe  father, 
with    Ills   blue  eyes   shining   out  of   his   browned  skin, 
and  his  great  voice  resonant,  stood  before  them,  hold- 
ins  an  Immense  bird  with   wide  spread  wings. 

"It's  a  wild  turkey,"  he  said,  after  the  uproarious 
greetings,  and  as  sobn  as  they  loosened  their  embraces. 
"1  was' resolved  hot  to  come  back  without  a  turkoy  tor 
Christmas.  «Aivd  It's  A  great  deal  richer  and  sweeter 
than  any  home-made  bird,  as  you'll  see  when  It's 
roasted." 

A  turkey!  And  Nancy  had  <but  lately  been  bemoan* 
Ing  herself  that  the  dinner  would  be  without  a  turkey! 
She  had  goiie  to  bed,  and  so  she  did  not  see  her  mother 
seise  t'le  wings  of  that  wild  trophy,  and  trim  theni, 
and  run  oat  to  tlie  kitchen  in  the  adjacent  builMng', 
and  dry  them  well  in  a  hot  oven,  and  later  •trim  them 
e«aln,  and  bind  them  at  the  base  with  an  old  kid  glove. 
and  so  finish,  for  Nancy's  Christmas,  as  fine  a  feather 
fan  us  one  could  wish  to  wave  on  a  hot  sununor  after- 
noon. 

But  at  laet,  when  the  house  was  quite  still,  Manoy 
crept  out  of  her  room  and  summoned  Johnny  to  belp 
her  with  the  chair.  Johnny  was  too  "sleepy  not  to  be 
glad  to  be  dismissed  after  that,  and  then  aha  disjtoaed 
of  the  presents  exactly  ae  she  had  planned,  an4  won^

ABSINTHE    THE    MONSTER    THAT'S 
KILLING    FRANCE 


CHROMATIC  SUITS  FOR  MEN 


-♦- 


a  nnii'iii 
thai  (liH's 


The  action  of  the  United  States  G(J\ern- 
nient..in  prohibiting  the  sale  of  absinthe  has 
xlrawn  attention  to  the  ^traordinary  grip 
that  this  liquor  has  got  on  the  French  i)ul)lu-, 
so  that  the  consumption  of  absinthe  is  con- 
sidered the  gravest  problem  that  the  rei)ublic 
has  to  solve.  It  is  filling  the  jirisons,  the  asy- 
lums and  the  poor  houses,  it  is  the  inspira- 
vion  of  the  Paris  apache.  I'p  to  the  present 
lime  all  efforts  to  arouse  the  i)eople  of  France 
to  a^realizawion  of  the  absinthe  peril  have  l)Ocn 
in  vain.  Thoro  are  no  strong  temperance  or- 
ganizations in  that  country. 

The  nianufaclnn-rs  and  dealers  in  absnulic, 
nil  the  xDther  hand,  are  a  very  powerful  group, 
and,  up  to  the  present  time,  have  been  able  to 
defy  the  efforts  of  legislators  to  interfere  with 
Ihe'ir  trade.  Thai  ihey  are  ruining

»he  close  of  ihi-  Algerian  war  by  the  returning 
soldier.  In  the  co\irse  of  the  campaign  they 
had  been  advised  by  army  doctors  to  use  a 
little  absinthe  iu  ilifir  wine  a-  a  icl>nfuge,

\\hcu  they  returned  to  France  they  de- 
manded their  absinthe,  and  dealers  were  quick 
1,,  supplv  them.'  Thus  the  habit  spread,  unti 
at  the  p'resenl  time  the  per  capita  consump 
lion  of  al)sinthe  amounts  to  about  a  quart 
vear  for  the  whole  iiopulation.  in  1910 
'was  36,000,000  litres.  Franco  consumes  more 
absinthe  than  all  the  rest  of  tlie  world  com- 
bined, and  the  consumption  is  increasing  so 
rapidlv  that  fears  arc  ex|)ressed  that  <n.m 
nearly  every  Frenchman  u  ill  be  drinking  ab- 
sinthe. , 

Should  the  day  ever  come  when  even  Lie 
majority  of  Frenchmen  are  absintheurs,  it  i-^ 
difficult  to  see  how  the  rapid  destruction  ol 
the  nation  is  to  be  prevented,  for  no  Covern- 
ment  would  then  be  permitted  to  luterlere 
with  the  sale  of  the  drug,  and  the  users  wou^m 
s])ecdily  degenerate  l)clow  the  level  of  the 
oi)iuni  smokers 

Absinthe  was  once  supi)osed  to  have  re- 
markable qualities  as  an  appetizer,  although 
the  claim  has  ben  pretty  thoroughly  disproved 
recent    investigations.     The  ingredients   m 


London  may  soon  see  a  practical  demon- 
stration on  a  large  scale  of  the  possibilities 
that  lie  in  using  bright  colors  lor  men  s 
clothes.  .\s  to  what  form  the  demonstration 
will  take  it  is  impossible  at  present  to  say 
anythin-,  as  the  idea  is  being  guarded  jealous-

alcoholic  drinks.  Most  of  the  absinthe  's 
Irapped.  and  liberally  diluted  with  water

sugar,  and  make  a  sort  of  syrup,  which  the}-

gle drink.  The  real  absinthe  "ficnrl"  takes  the 
drug  neat.  The  advaytage  of  this  method  is 
that  it  ends  rapidly  in  death  or  insanity. 

One  of  the  peculiarities  about  absinthe  is 
that,  unlike  all  <Uher  alcoholic  drinks,  its  first 
action  is  upon  the  nerves,  through  which  it 
reacts  upon  the  brain,  thus  reversing  the  usu.al 
process.  It  has  also  an  irritating  and  often 
fatal  effect  upon  the  lungs,  so  that  victims  of 
absinthe  can  hardly  be  ^listinguished  from  mc- 
tims  of  tuberculosis. 

The  after  effects  of  a  debauch  on  thi.s  drug 
are  more  terrible  than  those  Ihat  follow  a 
spree  on  alcohol  in  other  forms.  Hallucina- 
tions of  vision  and  hearing  are  much  more 
frequent,  and  much  more  pronounced,  and  the 
mixture  of  irritation  and  sadness  l-hat  is  one  of 
the  penalties  of  indulgence  in  this  hciuoj  ds- 
tinguishes  it  from  intoxication  brought  abcnit 
by  other  agents  ^ . 

Often  the  effects  do  not^manilest  them- 
selves for  several  hours,  an<!  a  nian  miglit 
take  two  or  three  glasses  and  go  about  his 
business  as  though  nothing  had  happened  un- 
til the  poison  began  to  work.  Convulsions 
akin  to  those  of  epilepsy  are  one  of  the  effects 
of  absinthe  poisoning,  and  it  is  not  unusual 
for  a  victim  to  manifest  most,  of  the  symp- 
toms of  the  rabies. 

The  United  States  is  not  the  first  country 
to  prohibit  the  importation  and  sale  of  ab- 
sinthe. To  Belgium  belongs  the  honor  of  tak- 
ing the  leadv  the  reason  being  that  the  large 
Pren'ch-speaking  population  of  Belgium  show- 
ed unmistakable  signs  of  copying  the  example 
set  by  their  neighbors. 

Absinthe  was  becoming  too  popular,  so 
the  Belgian  Parliament  prohibited  its. use  in 
igo6  before  the  vice  had  spread  from  the  large 
cities  In  1910  Switzerland  grappled  with  the 
hroblem,  and  prohibited  the  liquor.  Holland 
followed  suit.  Brazil  also  passed  prohibitory 
laws.  AH  these  countries  realized  that  only 
by  prohibition  could  the  absinthe  danger  be 
KOt  rid  of.  France,  on  the  contrary,  is  fltrt- 
*ng  with  the  problem  by  triflfng  restrictions 
that  will  have  little  or  no  efftict  upon  the  con- 
sumption, of  the  drug.

"but  it  is  (juite  a  different  matter  to  fit  it  mto 
practice.  The  onlv  customer  we  ever  get  here 
who  \vants  anything  in  tlie  way  of  bright  col- 
ors is  the  "nut."  and  may  we  be  preserved  from 
him!  r.ul  the  usual  serious  customer  will

fuuud.  indeed,  thai  while  colors  last  year  were 
uiuch  more  cheerful,  this  year  they  have 
dropped  back  to  the  {piietest  times.  Colored 
waistcoats,   for  instance,  are  not  asked   for  at 

all  just  now. 

"True  that  recently  we  have  made  two  nine 
evening  dress  suits— -but  these  arc  very  much 
the  exception.  We  find  it  very  difficult  to  in- 
troduce real  changes—the  blue  coat  with  a 
-.traj)  at  the  back,  for  in.stance.  in  na]i  cloth, 
which  is  now  so  popular.  At  first  we  found  it 
extremely  hard  to  i)crsuade  customers  that  it 
was  a  sm'art  and  becoming  garment.  Now  it  is 
quite  a  favorite.  But  generally  we  avmd  press-'

temper  to  say  that  people  iu  the  street  had 
been   making  remarks  about  them.' 

\  well-known  tailor  iu  Savile  Row,  who  is 
a  supporter  of  Mr.  Bra<llcy's  ideas,  took  (juite 
the  opposite  view  to  this.  "If  spade  work  is  to 
be  done,"  he  said,  "it  is  the  tailor  who  ha.s 
m.t  to  do  it.  and  he  must  not  be  nervous  of

shades  and  effects  can   be  produced   m   cloths 
as  were  formerly  produced  in  silks  and  satins, 
so  that   we  can  combine  durability  with  a  su- 
l)reme  elegance  that  in  the  days  of  riffles  was 
only   possible   with    the   mo.st  delicate   fabrics. 
On'the  Continent  there  is  a  move  towards  this 
elegance  in   colors.     England  is  still   supreme 
in  the  making  of  cloths,  and  will  always  reniainN 
so.     But  if  we  arc  not  careful   we  shall   have 
the    Continent    setting    the    styles    for     men's

AMERICA'S  UNDETECTED  CRIME 


the  emigration  ot 
women' and  children  to  Canada  and  other  parts 
of  the  Empire  was  given  by  F'arl  C.rcy.  ex-Cov- 
ernor-General  of  Canada,  and  -Mr.  John  Burns 
before  the  L)oiniiii(.>ns  Royal  Comuiission.  sit 
ling  at  Scotland  House.  Embaukmenl.  the 
other  day.-  A  picturesque  suggestion  was  made 
incidentally  by  F.arl  Grey  as  to  the  provi.^ion 
of  an  Imperial  Covent  Garden  for  fruit  only, 
for  the  purpose  of  bringing  together  the  home 
consumer   and    the   Colonial   i)roduccr. 

There  were  in  this  country,  said  l'",arl  t^rey. 
a  large  number  of  children  in  whose  interests 
it  was  desirable  that  they  should  be  removed 
from     their     i)resent     environment  and    placcil 
with   families   in   the    Dominions.     There   were 
a  large  numl.ier  of  I'oor  Law  children  depend- 
ent entirely  on  the  rales.     In  January  last  the 
figure    wa.s    71,145.      'I'hcy    had    in    addition    a 
large  number  of  chihlreu   iu   reiormatory  and 
indu.strial    schools,    the    figures    on    December 
31,    1910.  being  4. 75*)  :'"'!    LS-4.V)  res|)ectively. 
Under  a  regulation  of  the   Local   Government 
Board  a  large  number  of  these  children  could 
be  sent  to  the  Overseas  Dominions,  but  a  \ery 
small  percentage  up  till  now  had  been  emigrat- 
ed to  Canada.     The  cost  yf  maintaining  these 
children  averaged  about   £30  or  £40  per  head 
per   annum,    whereas   by    emigration    and    one 
payment  of  £20  or  £30.  sometimes  even  less 
than    £20,   the   child   could   be   removed   alto- 
gether ffom  bad  environment  in  England  and 
receive   abundant   opportunities    for   achieving 
a  degree  of  independence  which  was  almost  im- 
possible to  maintain  on  this  side  of  the  .Vtlan- 
tic  owing  to   the   conditions   under   which   the 
■   child  was  placed.     That  meant  tnat  emigration 
from  the  monev  point  of  view  was  by  far  the 
least  costly  of  the  various  sy.^tcms  for  dealing 
with  dependent  children.    The  want  of  children 
was  great  in   Canada,  and  he   was   under  the 
impression  that  it  was  etpially  great  in  other 
Oversea  Dominions. 

The  great  difficulty  was,  .said  the  witness, 
that  they  had  got  to  persuade  the  boards  of 
sruardians   that   thev   were    fulfiling   their

Scathing  comments  upon  American  educa- 
tional systems  were  made  by  Lieut.-General  Sir 
Robert  Baden-Powell,  at  an  educational  con- 
ference at  Tunbridge  Wells,  says  The  London 
Standard.     The  Chief  Scout  observed  that  we 
were  too  *ipt  in  this  country  to  talk  of  the  fu- 
ture of  the  nation  as  dependent  upon  the  army 
and  navy   and  armaments,  whereas   really    it 
depended  upon  commercial  integrity  and  de- 
velopment.   It  rested  with  the  teachers  to  see 
that  the  coming  generation  were  trained  in  the 
principles  of  commercial  honor.    Hitherto  the 
instructors  of  the  youth  of  the  land  had  had 
to  stick  to  certain  rules  and  regulations,  and 
the  boys  turned  out  by  the  educational  ma- 
chine werfc  lacking  in  character.    They  w^re 
,  not  up  to  the  standard  necessary  for  the  army 
if  the  force  was  to  be  what  it  ought  to  be. 

Me  was  glad  that  teachers  were  miw  de- 
veloping their  twn  character,  and  forcing  the 
education  auth^ities  to  give  thcth-  a  fr*«f

ties  towa-ds  the  children  by  sending  them 
across  the  seas.  Personally  he  would  l)e  op- 
posed to  putting  this  purely  in  the  charge  of  a 
Government  department.  Charitable  agencies 
were  better  qualified  to  deal  with  the  problem 
from  the  humane  point  of  view  than  a  Govern- 
ment department.  The  emigration  of  women 
to  the  Over-sea  Dominions'was  a  most  import- 
ant work,  and  it  was  very  desirable  that  ma- 
chinery for  enabling  them  to  go  under  safe  con- 
ditions to  the  Dominions  should  be  provided. 
The  Salvation  Army,  .said  Earl  Grey,  was  a 
splendid  organization  with  maehiriery  at  both 

ends.  .        .  , 

Mr.  John  Burns  stated  that  m  1911  the 
United  Kingdom  supplied  262,000  emigrants, 
80  per  cent  of  whom  went  to  the  British  Do- 
minions or  Colonies,  oj  60  per  cent  of  the 
natural  increase  by  births  over  deaths.  The 
figures  for  the  first  nine  months  of  the  present 
yduc  showed  an  increase  over  191 1.  and  sug- 
gested that  the  total  number  of  emigrants 
from  the  United  Kingdom  for  the  whole  year 
would-be  2^.000,  or  probably  270.000.  of  whom 
ai%ooo,  or  82  per  cent  of  the  total,  woyld  go 
to  the  British  Dominions,  Icavini^  18  per  cent 
to  go  to  foreign  countries. 

Ifc  Wlk«<^ remarkable,  said  Mr.  Bums,  that  in 
te«  years  the  proportion  oi  emigration  from 
th4  Mother  Country  to  the  Dominions  should 
have  grown  from  33  per  cen^  to  8a  per  cent,

Schefsky  was  the  principal  star  .singer  at  the 

Munich"  opera  house,  which   in   the  reign  of  a 

King  so  renowned  for  his  generosity  towards 

artists   of   all    kinds,    meant   a   tacit    assurance 

of  princclv  treatment. 

Frauleiii      .Schefsky,     however,     misunder- 
stood the  meaning  of  the  many  valuable  pres- 
ents   that    were   heaped     upon     her.     and   had 
some  aspirations  to  become  a  Court  favorite. 
.After   much   hesitation    as  to   how    to   achieve 
her   end.   she  decided   that   for  .so  romantic   a 
mind  as  that  of  the   King  of  Bavaria  nothing 
could   make  a  stronger   appeal   than  dramatic 
rescue  from  drowning.     So  she  arranged  that 
one  morning  when  the   King   was   taking  his 
moriling's   walk  by  the  side  of  the  lake  near 
the   palace   that   she   should   throw   herself   in,

jump  in  to  save  the  singer. 

The  singer    found     to    her    coat,  however, 
that  opera  singing  and  comedy  are  two  very 
different  arts.     Not  only  did. the  King  notice 
at   once  that    the    spot    where    the   halt-sub-

saw    through     the     meaning   of    the    by-play. 
Turning  to  his  secretary,  he  said;     "What  a 
pity  that  such  an  artist  cannot  plut  a  play  on 
better  than  that!"  and  then  sent  an  equerry  to 
the  diva  and  her  "rescuer"  to  tell  then^  of  his 
displeasure.    Fraulein  Schefsky,  wb<|  hJjfeyVelai

KISSES   BY   TELEGRAPH 

V      • 

The   Russkoe   Slovo"  gives   some   interesl- 
ing  sidelights  on   the  complications  and  gen- 
eral difficulties  whiph  a  new  Russian  post  of- 
fice  order  has  caused   for  private   individuals 
who   use    the   telegraph    as   a   means   of   com- 
municating  their      thoughts      and      desires    as 
rapidly  as  possible.     The  telegraph  employees 
were  recently  ordered  U)  take  special  care  in 
receiving  private  messages  that  contained  an>' 
words  or  phrases  that  might  be  of  an  ambigu 
ous  meaning,  and  might  be  su.spected  to  take 
the  place  of  a* code.     Such   messages  were  to 
be   refused,  aiul   in   cases  of  doubt   when   any- 
thing susi)icious  was  found  after  reception,  the 
offending   dubious   parts   were    to   be   omitteil 
fro.n  the  message. 

In  consecpiencc  of  the  literal  way  in  whic.'i 
the  officials  fulfilled  these  instnicticms.  many 
ail  agricultural  dealer  fell  into  desjiair  as  mes- 
sages came  to  him  cf)ntaining  nolhiiig  but 
figures,  the  question  oi  how'  man\'  ducks  ami 
hens  or  sheep  and  cattle  he  was  to  send  to 
market  being  made  none  the  easier  by  the 
omission  of  all  mention  of  such  animals.  Xo 
doubt  the  telegrai)h  clerks  had  heard  thai  the 
transposition  of- men  and  arms  and  ammuni- 
tion into  different  kinds  of  live  stock  was  oue 
uf  Uie  crudest  heginnirigi?  o^  ?,  code  that  had 
been  used  on  occasion  by  war  correspondents 
at   the   front. 

A    more   amusing   case.   howe\-er.  Ava-   wit- 
nessed  in  a  post  office  by  a  correspondent  oi 
The  Russkoe  Slovo.     hie 'saw  a  y_oung  woman 
evidently  of  high  degree,  in  angry  altercation 
with   the  employee  at  the  counter.     The  Ian 
was  only  too  evident  that  the  two  were  flatly 
contradicting  each  other,  and  it  was  also  plain 
that  all  the  signs  of  the  cross  that  were  made 
to  attest   the   truth  of  her  assertions  were  id" 
no  avail  against  the  scepticism  of  the  official. 
The   corresi)ondent    was   then    let   into   the 
secret  of  the  dispute.     There  lay  on  the  coun- 
ter  an    apparently    harmless    note      from      the 
voiing    woman    to    her    husband.      It    fini.died 
with    the   rather   conventional   ending   "10,000 
X,"  which   plainly   meant  nothing"  more    than 
what  the  four  or  five-year-old  boy  common  1\ 
sends  to  his  mother  before  he  has  Icarneil  to 

write. 

Hut  the  official,  possibly  no  great  enthusi- 
ast for  such  cliildish  lyricism,  held  the  mes- 
sage  up.   and   asked    what   was   meant. 

"Kisses!"  said  tlic  young  woman,  wonder- 
ing whether  he  were  ignorant  or  disbelieving. 
"Hut    what    do    Nou    mean    b}-    kisses?"     re- 
plied  the  official,   who   was  by   no  means  s;it- 
isfied  by  the  answer. 

"The  kiss  of  a  wife,  of  course!"  said  the 
woman. 

"But  how  arc  we  to  lie  sure?"  asked  tlie 
man.  "It  may  mean  Ixnnbs.  or  even  foibid- 
den  books.  \Ve  cannot  accept  cyidter  mes- 
sages, and  we  must  be  quite  certain  that  the 
senders  of  telegrams  really  mean  literally 
what  they  say." 

And  as  the  official  was  not  at  all  sure  of 
the  literal  accuracy  of  the  "10,000  X"  that 
part  of  the  message  was  ultimately  sup- 
])ressed.

NEW  YACHT  FOR  THE  KAISER 


In  Dublin,  a  car  driver  was  caught  by  a 
zealous  policeman  in  the  act  of  driving  fujri- 
ously.  The  policeman  stopped  him  and  said, 
"Ye  must  give  me  yer  name."  "Bvit  I  Wfin*^ 
give  ye  my  name;,"  said  the  driverl  "Ye'll

'if  ye  ion't  give  me  >cr  natne."  "I  v|>ji't''

"Yc'd  i>ett«r  find  »wt»!'  said  the  driven  ^VSw*

It,  has  at  last  been  decided  that  the  Ger- 
man Emperor  shall  have  a  new  yacht.  The 
Mohenzollern,  really  a  cruiser,  whose  dazzling 
white  hull  has  long  been  a  familiar  sight  to 
tourists  in  the  Norwegian  fiords,  and  which 
has  also  been  seen  on  occasion  by  visitors  to 
the  Kiel  regatta,  is  pronounced  to  be  techni- 
cally unsafe.  She  was  built  at  Stettin  in  1892, 
but,  according  to  the  German  experts  who 
have  examined  her  in  the  light  of  the  revela- 
tions of  the  Titanic  disaster,  she  fails  to  fulfil 
modern  requirements  as  regards  safety. 

Nevertheless,  it  will  be  three  yeara  before 
the  new  vessel  which  is  to  take  her  place  will 
be  ready  for  commission.    A  vote  of  £^250,000 
for  the  new  yacht  is  to  be  included  in  the- 
estimaics  for  next  year.    The  designs  are  un- 
derstood to  be  still  under  discussion,  .and  it  is 
not  known  whether  the  new  vessel  is  to  be  a  j 
royal  yacht  similar  to  those  which  carry  the  1 
King  of  England,  the  Czar,  ^nd  the  Kmg  of  I 
Spain  to  sea,  or  whether,  as  is  considered  more 
likely,  it  shall  be  as  the  HohenzoUern  today,  a  1 
fighting   unit,   symbolizing   the   constant  andj 
inseverable  connection  between  the  Emperor 
and  the  military  forces,  of  the  German    Em- 
pire. 

The  HohenzoUern,  which  docs  outy 
at  present  as  an  Imperial  yacht,  has 
reallv     been     in   such     use     only     for  i.fWre

LONDON/  Dec.  27.— R.  J.  Turner,  In 
an  InterestliiK  article  In  Tbe  Academy 
headed  "Turkey'B  Treaeure  Uouse," 
dlscuaj^es  the  marvcUous  coll«cU6n  ot 
jeWela  and  curlosUiKS  that  are  In  a 
corner  of  the  old  Blachern  Palaoi;, 
known  ■  as    the   treasury. 

•■HL-re,  in  all  conscience,"  says  Mr. 
Turner,  "is  loot  enough  alone  to  Juatl- 
fy  a  triumphul  enliy  into  the  ancient 
City  of  Coiisiantlne  and  to  make  the 
mouths  water  of  the  Bulgarian  or  Ser- 
vian host.-i  If  they  were  permitted  to 
cross  the  threshold  ol'  tlie  ireaaure 
chamber. 

"In  the  time  of  Abdul  Hamld  access 
to  thla  veritable  cave  of  Abdullah  was 
dlfhcult  to  obtain.  AmbiissudorliU  in- 
torcesslon  In  the  case  of  Kuropeuns 
was  necessary  and  not  always  success- 
ful. Since  the  advent  of  Mahmud  and 
the  Toung  Turks,  viewing  privileges 
have  been  extended,  but  the  signature 
ot  tlie  Grand  Vizier  Is  still  necessary 
to  in.sure  the  unlocking  of  the  famous 
portals. 

•'The  procedure  for  a  private  view  is 
auite  an  affair.  After  passing  the 
smtries  at  the  »Ate  of  -tho-.old.  .palatia. 
and  reportlnK  one's  arrival  In  the 
courtyard,  a  stately  procession  of  bc- 
fezed  and  frock-coated  officials,  head- 
ed by  a  venerable  Bede.  Issues  from  a 
Bide  bulldlnK.  Tho  guard  comes  to 
att'cntion.  Before  the  huge  key  is  in- 
serted in  the  lock  the  seal  ot  the  door 
Is  broken  by  the  venerable  one  and 
carefully  borne  away  A  distinct  effort 
is  reciuircd  to  turn  the  lock.  The  door 
opens  only  to  reveal  another  barrier 
wlilch  is  as  solemnly  unlocked.  The 
black-coated  procession  flows  in  and 
takes  up  strategic  positions  in  the 
chamber  now  open  to  view.  Under  the 
keen  scrutiny  of  fifteen 'or  twenty  pairs 
of  eyes  distributed  all  over  the  room, 
the  dlftlcuUles  of  annexation  become 
apparent. 

"The   most  striking  object   that   meets 
th«-»eye    Is    the    famous    jeweled    throne 
of  one   of   the  Sultans'   ancestors.     Thl.s. 
as      well      as      a    smaller    throne    in    the 
Eamc    glass    case,    is    thickly      Incrusted 
with    pearls    diamonds    and    rubles.         It 
would     be     dimmilt         to     estimate     the 
number    of    stones,    .some    of    which    are 
of   a    fair  slr.e.   but   there  must   be   many 
thousands    and    the    effect    on    tlic    wal-  ' 
nnt-colorffl     wood    is    barbaric      in       the  j 
extreme    Its  value  l.«i  estimated  at  from  i 
on*'   to   two  millions   .sterling.     Hero  and  j 
there   one  see.<!  a  vac-ant   .«!etlinK-   whence  I 
th*'      stone     has     disappeared,     i)rabahly  i 
passing    Into     the     posRe:?.slon     of     some  I 
nimble-fingered   favorite    of    the    .SuUan. 
Jewels    Qalore 
"Ranged    around     the    room    in     cases 
is   a   long   line   of   figures  of   Sultans   in 
tlieir  Jeweled   robes   and    turbans.    Some 
of  the  vestments  are  literally  stiff  with 
precious     stones,     while     to     fasten    the 
aigrette   or      the    turban      a     stupendous 
emerald    or    ruby    is    invariably    utlllzoO. 
An     id*a    of     the    size    of    the    ordinary 
run    of    the    stones    may    be    grasped    by 
looking  at   half   a   small-slzod   lien's   egg 
placed  on  end. 

"The  scalihard  of  raoli  warrior's 
scimitar  is  elaborately  lncruste<i  with 
similar  ;?tone»,  with  a  specially  larpt: 
one  on  the  top  of  the  hilt.  The  collec- 
tlan  of  swords  Is  inaRnlflcent,  but  It  Is 
when  one  comes  to  study  the  daggers 
that  one  realir.es  tbe  huge  fortunes 
embedded  Ir  such  weapons.  In  some 
cases  ''the  entire  haft  is  composed  of 
one  alone — an  em^erald  or  a  ruby,  as 
the  case  may  be — that  is  to  say,  a 
mas.s  of  color  about  three  inches  thick. 
Displayed  separately  are  some  huge 
uncut  but  pollshe<l  ruhh^.i  and  emer- 
alds   quite    as    large,     to    use    a    homely 

•  xpressKo.n,  aJs  an  ordinary  cake  of 
toilet  soap.  Whether  such  abnormal 
gems  are  of  the  purest  ray  serene  one 
cannot    vouch    for    but    the    whole    effect 

Is  to  recall  the  Jeweled  valley  of  Sin- 
bad  the  Sailor  and  hlB  Roc,  or  th-e 
more  material  properties .  of  the  pan- 
tomime. Rumor  has  It  that  occasion- 
ally,  when  funds  were  very  low,  old 
Abdul  would  withdraw  a  choice  speci- 
men or  two  which  would  find  their 
way  to  Paris.  All  credit  to  the  Toung 
Turks    that,    amid    occasions    of    great 

•  treas,  they  have  steadfiuttly  decllne<l 
to  take  toll  of  their  country's  ancient 
treasures. 

"Still  steadfastly  outflanked  hy  tho 
black  coated  brigade  another  room 
discloses  a  raagnldcent  collection  of 
coina  from  the  Romans  onward,  while 
other  cases  contain  brooches,  earrings 
iknd  ornaments  bejeweled  beyond  llie 
dre»ina    of    avarice. 

"Preceded  and  followed  by  the  shuf-

appallng    collection    of    paintings. 

"Carefully  shepherded  down  stairs
